"We hired Thomas at the Sunny Steel Band for a 2 hour workshop to teach a group of 30 of us for our corporate team building day. From start to finish Thomas was great, from initial enquiries about booking the band through to when the workshop had finished. He was very informative, polite and attentive. The workshop itself was brilliant as well. We had chosen a couple of songs with Thomas that we wanted to learn prior to the day. Thomas was a great teacher, not only teaching us how to play but the history behind the steel drums and how learning and playing the drums can help us to understand how we all work differently. There were some of the team on the drums whilst the rest were on percussion instruments and we swapped in and out so that everyone got a go on each instrument. At the end of the workshop Thomas played the songs how they should have sounded like(!) and even played a couple of songs upon request so we could hear how the drums can really should sound! Everyone had a great day and I highly recommend the Sunny Steel Band for any corporate team building workshop, we will definitely keep them in mind for further workshops and events we may have. "

"Despite the wet weather outside, the music fully lifted spirits for our summer party and got everyone in the mood for party vibes. Fabulous way to start the day and greet all the guests with a positive vibe. The guys were easy to deal with, professional, quick and smooth to set up and their song list was extensive. The staff all loved it. "

"Hi Titus I wanted to email to say thank you to you and Julia and the rest of the quartet for Saturday. The musicians were wonderful. The music was absolutely stunning on the day. The quartet played so beautifully, I felt it was really peaceful and special. Julia was really easy to liaise within the lead to the wedding, communicated clearly, and really went above and beyond in finding arrangements and playing additional pieces that we requested last minute, such as Ave Maria and Pie Jesu, as well as helping me plan the music, suggesting other pieces that could be nice too as well as finalising the order of the music. I was so grateful to Julia for all her help and patience, and would not hesitate to recommend Julia and her fellow musicians to anyone. Warm regards "

"Sunny Steel band played at my 40th birthday party and I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, fun and talented band. Booking was smooth and taking to the band leader Tom was a delight. Thanks Sunny Steel band I will be booking you again!"

"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."

"The band were booked for the wedding reception of my son and new wife. The guys were brilliant, music was excellent, they were very smartly dressed and so pleasant to deal with. From the initial booking of the event I was kept updated, the manager Gary responded straight away to any queries I had. Overall a very professional band. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Price wise, they were also one of the best and charged only half of what other bands quoted."
