Steel drums for cocktail hour?

Does anyone have names or numbers of a company or person that does steel drums during cocktail hour. I want something reasonably priced. Some DJ companies want an exhuberant amount for 1 hour. I don't need 2 or 3 people for the hour. One would be fine.

thanks

We used the steel drum player with Get In Tune, she was AMAZING! She sometimes plays at the showcases!

I also had the steel drum lady from Get In Tune. She was awesome. She also played as a percussionist for the reception to add some live music to the DJ.

Re: Steel drums for cocktail hour?

hey bliss bride, Junior is a good friend of mine I was just going to put his number on here, but you beat me to it. He is very nice, I play in the same steel band with him. He is doing a piece for me at my ceremony. He said that he is working on it, and that it would be nice. Give him a call he is easy to work with and he does play by himself as well. I went to a wedding over the summer w/ him to see what he does and it was very beautiful and the guests loved it.
