Our party took place on a horrendous cold windy and rainy day; but, you wouldn’t have guessed it! Steelasophical (duo with DJ services) bought the Caribbean weather to the party and was all the guests talked about even 2 weeks after the party. The band were professional, and surprised me with their range of songs ( there was something for all ages and cultures) and their talent with one of the members taking a turn on the mic. They arrived early to set up so the guests were played to on arrival. The hotel in fact were late with the reception drinks which didn’t matter as everyone was so transfixed with the band. Gary is a pleasure to deal with and happily used his experience of events to judge the mood of the event and play music accordingly. My mother always has to complain about something and she was full of praise for the band and the party as a result of the band. Result!! I would rate them 11/10 and would highly recommend them.

They were just amazing! They were early for the event, I had arranged a time for them to begin playing but we ran over (cake cutting/ first dance etc) and they didn’t mind at all even though it meant they would not be able to get home as soon as they would have! They took requests, got people dancing, even went up to guests and sung directly to them which was brilliant! We’ve had such good feedback from our guests and would definitely recommend them! Lovely guys and I can’t thank them enough! Kate Blackmore.

Absolutely fantastic. They arrived exactly on time and set up with no fuss. The music was fantastic and everyone at the party totally loved it. I would highly recommend this band and will definitely book them again

Everything was perfect – the band arrived when they said they would, set up and played beautifully for us and then packed up with no fuss. The guests loved them! It really made the atmosphere for us. Thank you to you all.

Great band! really worth the booking! thanks!

Brilliant – everyone commented how great the duo were. Many thanks- definitely book again in the future.

We had the band up for our summer party last weekend and they were fantastic. Quick communication made organising the event as easy as possible, and on the day music was absolutely perfect! They judged the mood and the crowd brilliantly and played a wonderful set. Everyone has been asking when we will be having you back, so hope to see you soon!

The Caribbean Steel Band were professional and fun. Early on arrival and had a really neat set up. The guests loved them and were invited to drink after the performance. Top musicians!

I hired these lovely musicians for my son’s first birthday party in May. It was a great choice! They arrived ahead of scheduled, set up and played wonderfully! Everyone loved the music (which turned out to be a great choice for the little children as they were not scared and quite enjoyed the soft tunes) my son loved the steel drums and we all had a great time.

I would like to thank Gary, he was absolutely brilliant, and a gent. The college will definitely be inviting Gary back next year for Black History Month.

Gary was a pleasure to work with! He brought Caribbean flavour and sound to our launch party in Guernsey and created a memorable event for all who attended.

Fantastic! The beach came to Buckland, the sun shone & Gary brought a smile to everyone’s faces!The music could be heard across the village & just added to the atmosphere of the day! Well done & thank you, it was great!

Our Residents had a great time last week at Merlewood when Gary came to perform the steel drums whilst they enjoyed their Caribbean 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 definitely look forward to booking him again in the future.

I was chosen to appear on c4 come dine with me in April. It was a Caribbean themed evening and I thought what better way to entertain than to have a steel band. Gary was amazing. It was like we were really in Barbados. I honestly believe that it was because of his amazing performance that I went on to win. Thank you so much Gary.

Gary Trotman of Steelasophical was really excellent. Our charity event was brought to life with the amazing tropical sound that he produced. Everyone there was dancing to the music. Gary made the night!

Gary have just played for us at the weekend and they were fantastic. They played for about 70 people at our garden party and everyone raved about their performance for days after, and I’m sure they will get many bookings from it. Thanks again and will certainly be using you in the future.

Gary played an essential part in making our summer event a great success. He is so skilful and his impact was marvellous. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking him again.

On a dank, dreary morning they brought a smile to peoples faces and what can only be described as sunshine music. They got the Motor Show in Gloucester off to a happy start- we would certainly book them again, can’t wait!

We have now had the pleasure of hiring Gary’s Caribbean Steel Drum Band on two occasions. On both occasions our guests were very impressed, as were we and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Their music is “happy” music and with it comes the “sunshine” even though it was a rainy Saturday in May. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday party one to remember.

Booked for my wedding in Surrey. Fantastic music. Fun and interactive entertainer, and even played numbers on request, which my guests loved. Very knowledgeable musician; approachable with extremely reasonable rate. Thank you for contributing to my wedding day and helping to make it such a success A+++

Great band unique sound very versatile great range of music to cover every taste, DJ services fabulous and big screen projector / screen and photography to capture the day and night. would definitely book them again, the left no stone unturned and a fab night was had by all highly recommended. if you have not had the pleasure of hearing a unique steel band this is the one for you 😉

Gary recently played a 15 minute spot in our traditional Christmas concert and brought a real flavour of the Caribbean to the show – much to the delight of our regular audience He is easy going and very anxious to please and a real pleasure to work with, and his style of music made an enormous contribution to the show
