"Gary was 100% first class in every way. I booked him as a suprise for my daughter at her wedding reception in UK after we went to Jamaica 2weeks ago for her wedding. Gary helped keep it a secret by waiting outside before setting up untill my daughter wasn't about. Everyone at the wedding loved him especially my daughter and son in law and many guests wanted him to play for longer. I would recommend him 101% to anyone who is looking for a Steel Drum. Don't be put off by him being a lot more affordable than others advertised. He is absolutely BRILLIANT. Thank fella."

""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." Natalie Gilfillan"

"If you’re a Bob Marley fan, you need to see Legend! They brought the iconic reggae sound to life, and the entire crowd was swaying and singing along. From "Buffalo Soldier" to "Stir It Up," every song was performed with passion and precision."

"Having a steelband at our beach wedding was a dream come true. The sound of the steel pan against the backdrop of the sea created a perfect romantic setting."

"Transported us to st. Lucia Chris did a wonderful job of keeping the night fun and romantic for our surprise honeymoon dinner! Played a mix of upbeat island songs. He showed up early and was very kind! Will definitely keep him in our back pocket for the future. "

"When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice! Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion. Allie B. Texas Wedding - Memorial Day 2019"
