Arrived early, every song was a hit

Island Pete got to the venue early, got all set up and was ready to go when the party started. 75 minutes of constant steel drum sound, 15 minutes break, another 75 minutes. They made Caribbean party a success.

Response from Island Pete:

The pleasure was mine. Mr Tim Heely and his family and friends created a very warm atmosphere and made it a wonderful event to perform for.
We wish Dan and his bride nothing but happiness and bliss.Thanks again.

Island Pete: Music vibrant and mellow all in one!

We had a wonderful event with steel drummer Island Pete! Great drumming and backup sound to match. He was warm and patient with our senior population, and many got up to dance and had the best time in months! Highly recommend!
