Why should I book live music for my event?

Live music is a great way to add an extra special touch to any event or function. There is nothing quite like a live steel pan band to bring an event to life. A great musician responds to the mood to deliver great entertainment.

Back to Top

How long do steel pan bands take to set-up for my event?

Set-up time is based on the number of musicians involved. A solo acoustic musician can be ready within 30 minutes. A duo or trio can take up to an hour. A 10-piece function band, with DJ service, may take up to 90 minutes or more. The time needed is to position the musicians in the performance area, prepare the equipment and test their sound.

If this is a special event with particular timings, they may need to arrive earlier. It is best to agree with the steel band about the time of arrival. This will allow them to prepare for your event. This should be before your guests or patrons arrive.

Back to Top

I need to cancel or change my steel pan band booking. What should I do?

This is best done direct with the live music artist you booked as soon as possible.

Please ensure you provide the steel band with as much notice as possible. They will want to be able to schedule another performance on the cancelled date to avoid any loss of earnings.

When you discuss the terms with your hired steel pan band, please cover the cancellation details. Let them know if you would like to change the event date. They may need time to check their calendars before confirming the rearrangement.

Back to Top

What happens if the hired steel band cancels the booking?

If a steel band cancels, you will need to find a replacement steel band. Get in touch with us as soon as possible, as ACE Music Booking Agency may have steel drum bands available at the last-minute for you.

Can I see the caribbean steel band perform live near me before booking?

All of the steel drum bands for hire on ACE Music Booking Agency are active live performers. The caribbean steel band selected for your booking may be regularly playing live in your local area. If it is a local public event, pop along and have a listen. Please bear in mind that they may not be able to grant you access for private events.

Is it possible to pick the songs the musicians and bands for hire will perform for my event?

You are welcome to discuss this with the caribbean steel band you are booking for your event. Some steel drum bands for hire will work very hard on a particular series of songs. They would also link many songs together into a medley. These steel drum bands to hire will have a routine to last the entire evening which they have perfected. Then it becomes very difficult for them to change the order of songs to include your choice. But, they may still be able to perform a special song for you. Other local steel bands for hire will be happy to play any song you request. Providing you give them enough notice.

Many international steel bands to hire travel the world with hundreds of songs in their repertoire. They may know the songs you want already! In both cases, don't be afraid to ask. It is important you get exactly the live music you want to hire at your event.

Back to Top

How loud will the traditional steel band be?

The volume is based on the type of instruments involved. Amplified instruments will be louder than an unamplified acoustic guitar or violin, for example. Where volume is a consideration, musicians with backing tracks can provide full volume control.

Back to Top

Will the musicians and bands for hire be suitable for sound limiters?

If a sound limiter is in place, this should be discussed when booking your caribbean vibe steel pan player. Many local steel drum bands to hire have experience in working with sound limiters. They will be able to advise in detail.

Back to Top

Do I need to provide anything for the musicians and bands for hire?

You are welcome to offer your chosen steel drum bands anything included in your event planning. The musicians and bands for hire need a space to perform and payment for their performance.

The musicians have experience in everything they need to perform and they can tell you in more detail.

Back to Top

What happens if I have a complaint about the caribbean vibe steel pan player?

If you have a complaint this should be raised as soon as possible with the caribbean vibe steel pan player themselves. The sooner a caribbean vibe steel pan player knows there is an issue the quicker they can rectify the problem if it is within their power to do so.
