"Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events. "

Thank you Jannette! It was a special performance for me as well. Your cousin was a dear and I am always amazed at the power of music to reach all of us. I grateful that you chose me to perform for this special birthday. It will always be a treasured memory!

"We were thrilled to have Vibez Groovers perform at our Christmas Lights Switch On event in Streatham. Owen, Warren, Evan & Dave were the perfect additions to the day; they kept the crowd engaged, entertained (and warm!) throughout the entire day. You could feel their genuine passion for music and their incredible talent left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. Highly recommended and can't wait to book them again."

"Great Steel Drummer Chris Arpad is great to work with. He came prepared; arrived early; was most cooperative and friendly; and most importantly, played musically and well. This gig was an odd one for a steel drummer, as Chris had to play with big orchestra and choir, which he did fabulously. Highly recommended. "

Thank you so much for the opportunity Jack! I will always remember this performance. Performing with your talented 120 piece orchestra and choir was both a challenge and joy! My father encouraged me so much for this performance, and I'm sure that he was with me in spirit. It was a privilege to perform with your conducting! I enjoyed watching the television coverage of the entire performance, well done!

""We saw Steelasophical at a friend’s wedding, they were so good, we felt that we had to book them for our special day on Saturday 27th August at Hintlesham Golf Club. Thanks guys, you did an amazing job, an awesome collection of songs created a great atmosphere for our drinks reception. All our guests loved you and we loved seeing you again to enjoy a unique sound that really started our wedding reception off in the best way possible. Book these guys, they are amazing! Love the new Mr & Mrs Clark, Felixstowe.""

"Chuck and Cheri performed over at my home for a 50th birthday party. Not only did Chuck communicate really well, but was on time, courteous, and extremely professional. We had an absolute blast and the two of them make a great combination and we had a very fun evening. After searching quite a few different sites for finding local talent, these two stood out the most and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening with them performing for our 40 person group. Thanks Chuck and Cheri !"

"I’d give Chris. 10, if I could! Chris is extremely talented and personable. He started out as a performer for our party & ended up a friend. We will definitely have Chris at our parties going forward. He teaches you a lot about the history of music, about steel drums & he is amazingly talented! Chris is top notch & no one could go wrong hiring him to play for any event. Chris has my highest recommendation. "

"Chris's music His music was fantastic. I really enjoyed his playing and singing. He started ahead of the time scheduled, and played until it rained pretty hard on him outside. It started to lightning, which is why he had to quit. I would definitely have him back again. "

"Oh man! Where to start! I had seniors with Parkinson’s up and dancing! The upbeat, energetic music mixed with Caribbean-esc vocals had my seniors (ranging from 80 to 95 years old) up and moving like they were 20 again! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you so much for bringing so much life to our senior community!"
