Ken Green came to our home for a small party. He was prompt and courteous and seemed to have the proper equipment needed for a pretty good sound for his steel drum. He was a very nice guy and had a fairly good selection of music. I think the main downfall of his gig was that he enjoyed a little too much break time and didn't play music during his break (he said he would but there was too much dead air getting to it so I just played my own). I would hire him again letting him know my expectations a little more clearly ahead of time.
Response from Island Vibes:
Client contributed to those breaks with party games and Quizzes.
Client's Spouse loved Earth Wind and Fire and was willing to play her collection in one of my breaks. My recollection was a 4 hr gig with 3 breaks of 15 minutes one of which Client invited me to enjoy
some fine indian cuisine. Also recieved a tip on my fee so am quite surprised with the review.
