"We all want to thank you, Norman, for a wonderful performance at our retirement party for Dr. Azan. Everyone commented on how great it was to have live entertainment and the steel pan drum was perfect for our Jamacian theme. We could not be any happier with our choice! Thank you again and hope to hear you again soon! Sincerely,Gia Kuhns."

We requested Norman ride in the Chamber's parade float. He did - graciously accept. We had the group wear our Apple Festival - "Jamaican My Day" T-shirts and they did. Weather was cold and cloudy, but they performed great for the crowds. One of the band members said it was the 1st time he'd worn gloves to play the steel drum, because of the weather. Great group, we should have had them perform all day!

"Norman was on time (early in fact) and gave a great performance. I had about 60 people at my event and everyone raved about him. Norman and his steel drum really made my party feel festive and added a lot to the ambience.
I would definitely have him back."

Anniversary Party

"Norm was the perfect touch to lend that Caribbean atmosphere to our tropical party. All the guests enjoyed him immensely and we even had him stay longer just to play for us as the party wound down so we (the hosts) could really enjoy it too. I wish I could have him playing in my backyard everyday!"
