"Great evening had by all .. so surprised the sound that just one
performer could make, such an added bonus being able to offer a
Caribbean DJ service with professional lighting too. A God send to us
when our PA system broke down and Steelasophical allowed us to use his
PA for announcements and speeches. We would recommend highly"
Mark Rea SoMe FuN stUff      | Namaste .. "Congratulations on your wedding plans" A little about us .. At 'Steelasophical' we are very much at the pinnacle of 'Caribbean Steel Drum Band Musical Entertainment', Specialising in those real days and events that mater in peoples lives. Nothing much sweeter than knowing two people enjoying one of the happiest days of their lives, and "Steelasophical" being attributed (in no small way), in making the whole day an experience to live long in the memory. Having spent the last 25+ years performing alongside many of the popular steelbands and caribbean acts out there, I know the level that our professionalism, reliability, commitment & sophistication is very much elevated in comparison to most. Communication, reliability & punctuality are the key - we always look to arrive and set up at least 1 hour prior to start time (we do not subscribe to 'West Indian Timing') .. so well before clients, family and guests arrive where possible 100% professional and not hobbyists. This is not a weekend pastime or opportunity to get together with the guys and have a great time at some else's expense. There is continual investment in our service, hence forever growing and evolving .. as such, you could see how it can be said we now offer services literally second to none and at a very, very high standard...
After more than 25 years in the business, we have developed a network of gifted and reliable musical bands and entertainers, whom we collaborate with to provide the more traditional steelbands, steelband combo, soca and reggae bands It utilises amazing steeldrum instruments, fused with great quality studio produced backing music trax music, to give a full and professional band sound .. from just one or two performers! The concept is not unique, many top performers do this all the time and have done so for years and on the BIG stage! .. the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Simply Red .. It makes sense .. you get the best of both worlds .. great live vocals or live steeldrum sounds, but without the uncertainty and variation in backing band .. with us, the backing music is always as intended and perfect for the occasion, with the lead Pannist able to control the entire performance balance, sound, feel & volume, in one motion at any given time .. a must for background music where people want to be heard, but music is required to create that perfect tropical atmosphere With Steelasophical, the basic music styles stretch over 14 genres and the song list itself has a base of well over 100 which grows weekly Due to the nature of the composition of the act, the music can be as soft and gentle as a string quartet, to as loud and pulsating as a 6pc Caribbean steelband, Soca band, Pop group, Reggae or Salsa band .. something to take into account when comparing quotations We can even compliment this with vocals, saxophone, percussion, more steeldrums .. it truly is amazing value and far much more than your conventional steelband or DJ ...
