"Everything was perfect, the band was absolutely wonderful and the bandleader Irvin is a charming, lovely guy. They added a real Caribbean feel to our drinks reception with their lovely, gentle background music. Thanks!"

"I’ve been lucky enough to work with Assaf on a regular basis and he is simply the best percussionist I have worked with. His work goes beyond simple accompaniment to a full show that holds the audience spellbound"

"We come here with the same group of friends a couple of times a year, from as far as Penkridge. The reason we come is mainly Iroel, the Cuban singer /entertainer who makes every visit memorable. ¡Muchísimas gracias por el espectáculo estupendo qué lo haces cada vez!"

"I just wanted to thank you all so very much for playing so incredibly beautifully for us on Saturday night.  I have been inundated with messages about the extraordinary quality of your music, and the virtuosity of your musicianship - they were so surprised to find that in the middle of a Devon field! I am sorry that I got the set up with the yurt and the fire a little wrong, and thank you for being game enough to emerge from the tent and lead the dancing around the fire.  Amazing and unforgettable.   So many people have asked me what language you sang in; I had the impression that perhaps it was more than one? I would love to know, so that I can pass it on.   Once again thank you to all four of you, and to your contribution to a completely extraordinary evening.  I am so glad you had a comfortable night at Jenny's and hope your journey home was not too troublesome - I know the traffic can be a bit challenging on the M5 but it sounds like you set off early enough to miss the worst of it.  Everyone was only sorry that there was no opportunity to chat with you all, as well as have the lovely experience of listening to your music.   Many thanks again and best wishes. Fanny"

"I hired Kiki & The Latinos for my Parents 40th Wedding anniversary party and I could not have asked for a more friendly and professional band. They are incredible well priced and worth every penny. They played a fantastic selection of songs and they were the icing on the cake to make a great night into a truly spectacular party that my parents or the guests won't forget for a very very long time!'"

"Salsa Kings loosened up to play in a totally brazen manner, horns slicing without mercy, piano jabbing hard chords, percussionists putting steam on the walls."

"We first heard Edina at my a family wedding a few years ago and loved her! So it was an easy choice to have her play at ours and she was fantastic. Loved some of the pop culture (e.g. Game of Thrones) cover songs and she's a really friendly and lovely person. Thanks again Edina. "

"From the moment we met Francis of Band One Steel Band we knew we had to have the band a part of a wedding! I can say that the band were amazing! They played during our cocktail hour and really brought the energy to the day! They made the occasion memorable! Our family and friends loved them and we loved them! They have great range of songs and they also can perform new pieces of music that you may request. Please do not hesitate to book this wonderful band to be a party of your special occasion! Thank you Steel Band One for everything! I would highly recommend them!!"

"It was an absolute prvilege to have Caribbean Regals Steelband playing at my 30th birthday party. The music played gave the exact feel and mood at the correct times; laid back and chilled while the meal took place then upbeat for dancing and games afterwards. I also asked for a mini workshop so my guests and myself could experience the steel drums. They are definitely not as easy as I thought. Sofia and Rujaun were so patient with everyone even when we kept getting all the notes wrong. Sofia and her son Rujaun are extremely talented professionals who are incredibly friendly and easy to get along with and have a laugh. Sofia’s communication was fantastic and the booking process was so swift and easy making for a stress-free time. I would recommend Sofia and Rujaun to anyone looking for a truly enjoyable, unforgettable performance and experience. Any time I need a steel band this is the first place I’d go. Absolutely Amazing worth every penny and more. Thank you for making my 30th birthday one to remember always."

"We came across Gerry from web reviews on this site. Our vision was to find an accordonist who could accompany our pre-wedding groom arrival procession playing upbeat and beat tunes. Gerry was very enthusiastic and open to our requests and a pleasure to work with. The event and music was lovely so thankyou to Gerry and his trumpet player colleague who made the day very special.

"Thank you so much for your wonderful playing at our wedding on Saturday. It was the perfect surprise for my bride and guests, who all commented how beautiful you sounded. Verity particularly liked the music from Amelie, and many of my guests were telling me their own personal favorites that you played. It has been a seamless process dealing with you all of the way through and I felt very reassured that you would do a professional job. Once again, thank you for your part in making it a perfect day for us both."
