"We're ever so grateful for Marcella and Junior playing the steel pans during our cocktail reception. It incorporated our Jamaica culture in fun, vibrant and professional way. I would highly recommend their services."

"Your service was excellent - at all times: enquiry, booking and follow-up pre-performance. The performance itself was fantastic - the musicians were great. I'd definitely book through you again. Thank you."

"I hired Sunny Steel Band for my mum’s 60th birthday party. The band were on time, professional and my mum was thrilled with their performance. I’ll definitely be booking them again for any future events."

"Disco Infernos really did keep the party going and the dance floor filled all night. I loved the Jazz section very much too and our first dance was sung and played so perfectly! There are so many happy memories of everyone dancing away to your music! "

"Finding a great band for a wedding is surprisingly excruciating and risky. We were planning our wedding during the pandemic, so we had to rely on online videos when searching for bands. We discovered very many high-priced function bands that look pretty, have excellent promotional videos and websites, but have absolutely no soul or no groove. We also had a few lucky escapes: such as certain bands failing to tell us that the very talented lead singer in their promotional video wouldn't be performing with the band, and a few of the bands we saw in pubs and bars demonstrating no idea how to set their PA system to enjoyable levels. Oh and did I mention some bands were requesting RIDICULOUS prices! However, for us it was so important to find a good band, as my new wife and I and many of our friends are dancers, and we wanted lots of people to dance at our wedding. I wrote a specific brief and had high standards, which meant I spent AAAAGGGGES searching and was mostly disappointed. But then somehow, I finally stumbled across Disco Infernos's videos. Oh - My - GOD! Prayers were answered and we hadn't even got to the church yet. They offered a few bands of different styles, sizes and repertoires - and for us Disco Infernos was the closest to what we wanted. Disco Infernos are also super adaptable, as whilst some of the performers we liked weren't available, we were offered a variety of other performers and could choose who we thought would work best for our occasion, and even the kind of outfits they could wear (although we weren't really fussy about that. What we wanted was a great band.) The standard of everyone we reviewed was very high, and when we wanted performers that could perform funk, soul, disco, jazz, R&B and pop within one performance we got them. I don't like the saxophone, so I asked for a trombone player instead. Done. We reviewed a variety of lead singers, and we chose Najwa, and we're so pleased we did. She gave a superstar performance with a personable, upbeat and still professional attitude, incorporating so many of our specific requests that we knew our guests would enjoy, and encouraging our guests to interact with her whilst she was on stage. Due to a delay caused in to the start of the meal, the band even accommodated a shorter mid-set break to keep the dancing and energy going through-out the reception. Not only did that ensure we continued having an excellent wedding party, it truly gave us value for money for our booking. Guests loved the band. We loved the band. And the band seemed to love our wedding. All very important. We are very grateful to Rhona, Disco Infernos and when we have another occasion where we'd like a great function band, we'll first approach Disco Infernos. "

"Such a wonderful start to the wedding. Music choice was excellent and had the guests dancing and toe tapping from the start to the finish. Great to watch and to listen to. It made the wedding go with a bang. Thank you to all 3 musicians, they were a pleasure to have at the event."

"Wow, what a fantastic afternoon of entertainment from Juma Steel Band! Their music made us feel as if the sun was beating down even though it was a below average temperature English mid summers day. We can't thank Juma enough for coming from London to entertain us all. Our pub regulars and visitors alike were blown away by the brilliant sound of the Caribbean brought to a rural village in Norfolk. Many felt compelled to dance and applaud throughout the performance such was the quality of music and the atmosphere created. Juma truly are the finest steel band in the UK in our estimation. We can't wait for a repeat booking next summer. "

"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!"

"Our party took place on a horrendous cold windy and rainy day; but, you wouldn't have guessed it! Steelosophical (duo with DJ services) bought the Carribean 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."

"Steelasophical absolutely smashed it at our wedding! They got every guest of all ages up and dancing. Everybody truly loved them. What more can I say, if you want a great wedding band, get in touch with Steelasophical, they were recommended personally to us and I also would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Steel band, Mobile Dj, Vocal entertainer, they even provided the lighting to transform our wedding venue! 10/10"

"Working in the hospitality industry you see thousands of bands and DJ’s come through the door, PanFire stood out from them all. Unique in style, PanFire created the perfect atmosphere for the party we were hosting. They were all very professional from start to finish. If you’re looking for an alternative, exciting source of entertainment … look no further than PanFire."

"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!"

"Gary turned up when promised and setup discretely. He worked with us to incorporate little touches into our day that made it special for us, including family involvement. He was very flexible and responsive to our guests, even adapting to the spontaneous conga line that developed and sending us a video of it afterwards which was awesome. He read the room well and stayed beyond our original end time since our guests were enjoying his music so much. We've had multiple mentions since then from guests who loved his playing. Would thoroughly recommend him."
