Gary as a soloist or Steal Band 3 - 12 piece
If you're after something fun, different and memorable for your event, look no further than the unique sound of a Caribbean Steel Band and the feel-good factor of Calypso, Soca and Latin music. Ideal for taking the edge off formalities and inducing that wonderful, laid back Caribbean vibe, everybody instantly relaxes to the sound and songs of the beautiful West Indies.
Pukka Pans' specialises in providing high quality, flexible and affordable Caribbean-style live music entertainment for all kinds of events across the South of England. Whether it be a small private party or a large-scale wedding, our pan soloist, Jim Bernardin, provides irresistible steel pan performances for party guest arrivals, before and after wedding ceremonies and evening entertainment.
Jim also offers a duo or trio steel band for those occasions when you really want friends and family to dance the night away. Steel Pans are ideal for all kinds of music too, so if you have a special request for your wedding, birthday or anniversary Jim would be happy to play it for you. From the Wedding March or Ave Maria to Elton John, Bob Marley or Glenn Miller, the possibilities are endless, not forgetting all the well known Caribbean favourites as well!!
As a steel pan soloist Jim carefully arranges all his own backing tracks and plays 'Double Seconds' steel pans with two or four beaters to create that warm and full Trinidadian pan sound. His pans are hand-made by renowned pan-maker Tony Charles of London, with a note range of two and a half octaves.
Jim also offers a range of Christmas Carols and festive songs for the Christmas period and am always happy to undertake new requests for any occasion.
