"So sorry it has taken me so long to say how wonderful Eugene and his Steel Band were. He is the most delightful person and they played most beautifully. The evening got off to a really splendid start thanks to them and the weather was perfect, (unlike now). So please pass on my thanks gain to Eugene and the Carabana steel band. I do hope we have another occasion when we can ask them to play again."

"Everything went really well yesterday, the band were amazing. They really went above and beyond and we will certainly be using them again. True professionals in every sense. What we managed to achieve in just one day was nothing short of a miracle and Athena were instrumental in this."

"Our Residents had a great time last week at Merlewood when Gary came to perform the steel drums whilst they enjoyed their carribean themed lunch. The Residents are still talking about what how much they enjoyed Gary's music. He really made it special for them. He's the nicest guy and even stayed well over his paid time and didn't finish playing till the residents had finished their lunch. We will definatley look forward to booking him again in the future."

"Hi Paul, Please could you pass on my thanks to the whole band who were absolutely superb on Saturday. For many it was the highlight of the evening and brought back memories of their service in the Caribbean.My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time listening and dancing but I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities. I hope you enjoyed yourselves too and that you'll come back next time to entertain us. Once again, thank you for making the evening one to remember for all our guests. Regards,"

"Well, we had never booked anything quite like a Caribbean steel band previously, but we fancied a change to our normal style of drab Christmas entertainment. The guys calypsofied Christmas carols, and played a good mixture of songs that we all knew. All in all we are definitely happy that we booked Francis and his troops, and I would certainly recommend them for any occasion."

"Having met Shama and the 515 Crew at a couple of events I photographed over he last 2 years, it was without question that we would be using them whenever we had a family event. Last weekend, my brother and I threw our parents a surprise 65th birthday party and I was super excited to have secured a booking for this auspicious occasion with the 515 crew and they most certainly didn’t disappoint!!! They arrived promptly to setup and worked within the limited space we had at our venue without any complaints. I asked Shama if the group would be able to play a handful of my dads favourite songs from the 70’s and 80’s era including Santana, Wilson Picket and James Brown and although it was material that they hadn’t done before, they took time to rehearse in the week and surprised us with their amazing delivery on the main night. My dad and guests were over the moon! I’ve had nothing but positive comments from our guests on the 515 Crew’s super professional musical ability and singing. Their Indian songs took our guests back into time and found it refreshing to hear some of the old bollywood songs with a modern and current feel. I really cannot express how delighted myself, my parents and our guests are with the 515 Crew. I dealt with Shama from the initial phone call to check on the teams availability and she’s always been a pleasure to deal with including on the night itself. I most certainly will be using them when we have another event and will be recommending them to my clients too! I genuinly thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Kam Parmar (Kreative Klicks Photography)"

"Sorry it’s taken me to come back to you, but just a quick note to say thank you to all of you for your entertainment at our Mechoui party a few weeks ago. It worked really well and everybody made very favourable comments about Los Musicos. And we were extremely lucky with the weather as well. Hope to see you in the future…..I will pass your details on to all who ask me for them."

"We just wanted to thank you for being so AMAZING at our wedding on Saturday!! We are so, so glad that we found you! Everyone absolutely loved you all - so many people were asking who you were because they thought you were so brilliant! You made the whole vibe of the wedding absolutely perfect! Thank you so much!! We also really appreciated you coming so far - all the way from London! You were absolutely brilliant, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect band to play on our special day. Thank you so much. With very best wishes, Jasmin and Sam"

"We were so pleased with Rose Cafe's performance at our wedding. They were very easy to communicate with leading up to the day, and enthusiastic about getting things just right. All of our guests were commenting on how great the music was! Highly recommend booking them."

"Dear Los Musicos, Thank you very much for making our night so special. It was everything we hoped for and so much more. Our friends loved your music as much as we did and several asked for details so I sincerely hope you get lots more bookings out of last night. After postponing a few times (due to Covid), last night was all the nicer having waited so long. You are all so talented and lovely – and special thanks for dealing with requests. Until next time! Thanks and kind regards Sue"
