The Audio Q7

Posted by steelasophical on Monday, February 13, 2012, In : Links 

First Drive

Excellent driving dynamics coupled with a range of lusty engines make the Q7 the large SUV of choice for those looking for something big and sporty.

We tested the latest 3-litre TDI engine, which traditionally makes up the bulk of sales ...

Tips for Hiring a Band

~ Gary Trotman – Steelasophical Steelband

First of all one of the first things I’d say is always go and see your chosen band live before you book them, listen to performance recording or be sure to obtain testimonials.

Steelasophical uses steeldrums and pro backing tracks in their performances .. However .. if a band advertises themselves as live, be sure they are not playing or singing to backing tracks … find out how many members are in the ba...

Choosing the Music for Your Wedding Ceremony

music for your wedding ceremony

www.steelband.co.uk

Having have played steeldrums for civil and church weddings for some years, I am still  happily surprised at how cautious brides and grooms are in their choices of wedding ceremony music, especially since civil weddings have come into play.

There are so many suitable pieces out there – classical, popular, caribbean, MOR and in-between.

Perhaps we performing wedding musicians are to be commended!! .. we offer so much choice!
