Through Gig Salad I read the reviews from the Trinidad Steel Drum Band. Hired them for our rain or shine back yard Luau Party on Saturday, 5/18/13. They're amazing!!! Our guest raved about their performance! Everyone felt as though I had taken them away to the Caribbean for the day. I would highly recommend them and plan on hiring them again in the near future.

To any readers out there. Please read her comments, as they are very positive. The star ratings really do not reflect how pleased she was. On another site www.gigmasters.com ( go to trinidad north page) we have over 30 reviews, all outstanding, and a perfect 5 star rating. Thanks!! Trinidad North
