Trinidad North added a great deal to our daughter's wedding cocktail hour. Lively and spirited, Dave played two pans and his colleague played drum kit. This added a nice touch.

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.
