Luau Party - Steel Drum Band

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.

Response from Trinidad North Steel Drum Band:

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
