Testimonials "Skyline Steel Band were great! They were booked as a surprise as it was something the birthday girl had always wanted. We managed to set up the gazebo and get the band under it without her knowing, so when she was led out and saw them, it was a complete shock to the point where she had tears in her eyes - a little emotional as she was so pleased!
The band played well and were very accommodating, even allowing some of us to have a "tinkle" on the drums. It was all well worth it and the birthday girl is still saying it is the best birthday present ever - job well done ;o)" -Julie, 50th Birthday Party Loughton Essex, 02/06/2010
"Have just returned to work after a truly magical weekend and you are on top of my list of contacts! Please thank Skyline Steel Band very much for coming along and taking part in my Daughter’s very special day.
It was great to hear the Steel Band from all areas of the hotel whilst the guests were arriving from the Church ceremony. The Band, as I knew they would be, were absolutely brilliant." -Len Hazell. wedding reception, Newbury, 24/08/2010
"We have just experienced our first Caribbean Christmas party in the middle of Suffolk's ice and snowy conditions. We were all dressed in Pirate and holiday shorts and had the most enjoyable evening of games, competitions, and dancing.
The evening was made such a success due to the music and interaction with Skyline Steel Band. They played till we dropped. Many thanks!" -John & Ann Doherty, Suffolk, 28/11/2010

"Skyline Steel Band were absolutely incredible!!!!!
The band were extremely professional, great fun and fantastic musicians. They well and truly made our wedding party. The manager of the venue (whom has heard a number of similar bands) said that this was the best band by far that he had seen. Feel free to you me as a reference for any of your potential customers. I honestly could not rate the band highly enough.
Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday 11th June 2011 at Charlton House. You were all fantastic and it made our day so special. The big round of applause and cheers at the end said it all.
The guests commented on how brilliant you were and we have passed on your details to them all. We will definitely be calling you again.
Kindest regards,
Charmaine and Piers

"Just wanted to say that Skyline Steel Band really made a great evening spectacular!
We had our 60 & 65 Birthday and Skyline added so much to make it all go with a real swing. Jean and I will always have such wonderful memories of friends, family and neighbours having such a great time. We had all ages from 9 months to 80+ years and as one of the party said 'there wasn't one person without a smile on their face!'
Thanks Skyline - we'd be happy to recommend you to anyone to make a party 'go'!

"Thanks for playing at our wedding. People thought the music was great - really fab! We were very pleased and especially liked the modern twist you added (i.e. by playing some current chart tunes).
Thank you again.
