Biography

Big Sand is one of the more experienced steel bands in London. The band has an extensive profile online, a network of corporate clients and a reputation amongst wedding planners for delivering a quality service. If you are looking for wedding reception music in London, Essex, Kent, or any county it is worth having a listen to this steel drum band.

There are just two simple options for events; you can hire either 3 or 5 players. The first offers excellent light acoustic entertainment to complement a drinks reception. Indoor or outside, the acoustic sound works very well and the 3 players do not require much floor space. This is the most popular format for wedding reception music.

The 5 piece band is also acoustic and will have you dancing around in a conga line. Just listen to the live demo sample and you can almost sense the atmosphere as your party comes alive with lively Caribbean steel band music. It is one of the best sounds that you can enjoy at a party and adds that extra sophistication as your guests arrive.

Expect a great service, presentation and a professional response to your enquiry.

The references below are posted by recent clients and you can rely on all the information. There is also a fantastic blog and music demo on the main website, plus a dedicated wedding page: www.bigsand-steelband.co.uk/weddings.html with lots of useful information.

"We booked Big Sand for our wedding reception - the best decision we made. Our guests loved it, the band were so professional and they definitely brought some much needed sunshine to our June wedding! The band were professional from start to finish, they didn't even mind changing position at the venue last minute due to some threatening looking clouds. Absolutely fantastic & the sound of the steel band as we were welcomed in will be a memory to savour forever."

"We had this steel band for my Mum's 95th Caribbean Garden Party. It was a real success she enjoyed them very much. The family also thought they were good not too noisy playing nicely in the background allowing people to Talk without shouting above the music. They were very good. They knew when to turn the music up to allow people to dance if they wanted to. They were brillant. They made the day. Thank you Boys"

"I hired Big Sand as a small 3 piece to play at my Boss's Son's post-wedding Hog Roast and the family could not have been more delighted. It was very easy to book them on-line, they arrived promptly, looked wonderful and were totally professional throughout the whole afternoon. The music was really great - not too loud but melodies bounced across the garden and had everyone's toe's tapping. I cannot recommend highly enough - and I don't do that lightly."

"After extensively researching steel bands via the internet & recommendations, I asked Big Sand to play as a 5-piece at my wife's 60th birthday party. The booking was easy & communications leading up to the event excellent. On the evening the band were utterly professional and simply superb in their overall sound and the quality of the music, and without any doubt they the party a real success. I really couldn't recommend them highly enough, and if you're looking for the best quality steel band around, well, you just found it. Book them - quick !"
