"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. "

"Thank you so much for your help with making our recent wedding at Rowhill Grange so special. All of our guests absolutely loved having the band playing as they enjoyed their drinks & canapés, and so many have commented how it was wonderful to have something so different and unusual at a wedding. Martin & I were so delighted you were able to provide the tropical atmosphere that we wanted & you really helped to make our day absolutely wonderful for us both, although of course the perfect weather helped (so thanks too if you had any hand in that!). I'm only sorry that we didn't get to chat to you properly & thank you on the day, as we were so occupied with photographs. Many thanks again, and very best wishes."

"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 "

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on the 15th. You did an amazing job and we received so many compliments - particularly from your dancing crew of kids! We also appreciate you being so flexible with playing during the blessing and then moving outside for the drinks reception. We also think your music selection was perfect and really helped get the party started. We cannot thank you enough and will be recommending you to everyone we know! From Kat & Henry 15th August - Crooked Billet"
