We were thoroughly pleased with Nigel - Steel Drum Flavor! We have a banquet event every year, but have never had live musical entertainment. Because we changed our venue this year to St Louis Zoo, we wanted to "class" up the event and Nigel certainly helped us do that! He arrived early and was completely prepared. He played the best rendition of Margaritaville that I've ever heard! We would certainly hire Nigel again and I have already recommened him to friends and co-workers. Throughout the eventing, at least twenty people asked me how to hire Nigel! Nigel was fun and accomodating and truly completed our "cruise" theme evening!

We had Nigel for a party in our country club for about 100 people. He was the greatest! Our guests are still raving about him. He was energetic for the entire three hours. He was professional and very accommodating. We are definitely going to hire him again for any event we plan on doing. His music is what made our beach party/luau day to remember, different from the rest!

Hi Nigel,
Thank you so much for playing at my wedding!! You were such a delight. I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to talk - I was being pulled in a million directions. You were fabulous!!! I'll send some pictures and videos when I get them from the photographer.
I heard a rumor that you let the flower girl and ring bearer play your steel drum. That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I cannot wait to see the pictures.
Thanks again!

What a wonderful and energetic performance by Nigel Thomas before our group of 2000 most of whom have traveled to the Carribean. The haunting sounds of the steel drum evoked happy memories of their various trips there, and many had requests which were graciously complied with. Nigel is so personable that he established a great rapport with an attentive audience. He was great and his talent appreciated.

We hired Nigel for yet another event and again he did not disappoint. He was the heart of the party. He is very energetic and passionate about his music. He worked the audience very well and folks can't stop talking about him. The crowd kept shouting Encore, Encore! They took all his business cards in a heartbeat.

We thoroughly enjoyed Nigel's music. It was a wonderful background for our event and the music went so well with the heat and humidity, we felt like we were on a Caribbean Island. Nigel was all set up and playing when the guests arrived, so the tone was set right away, appreciate people that are on time especially in light of how far he had to come. Would highly recommend Nigel, he is very professional and a very interesting person. Hope to find a reason to have another theme party to have Nigel entertain us again. Thanks so much.

I was the Maid of Honor at Dawn and Josh wedding this past Saturday. I wanted to let you know how much we ALL enjoyed your preformance! It was the perfect touch on a perfect day. I heard compliments all night about how unique and different it made the party!
I also wanted to thank you for allowing my son (the ring bearer) and the flower girls to play your steel drum as well. It was very thoughtful of you to allow them to have an experience that does not present itself everyday!
My mother took some pictures at the event that she would like to share with you. I was wondering if you might be able to provide me with a physical address that they could be mailed to.
Thank you again!

Nigel came early to set up and familiarize himself with the event venue. He was terrific! The listeners enjoyed the music and his high energy. He was dancing and playing the entire time. I had good feedback from another venue and chose to hire Nigel. I would recommend him to anyone and we expect to have him back again. JH

Nigel was extremely professional and easy to work with. He made the booking process very easy, and was a terrific performer. We booked him for an event we had at our restaurant, and he drew in a lot of people from other surrounding restaurants, which really helped us increase sales. We definitely plan on booking him again, and looking forward to working with him in the near future.

Nigel was FABULOUS! This was a surprise luau party for my husband's birthday. Nigel took the time and patience to teach my 9 year old how to play Happy Birthday on the steel drum for my husband's arrival. My daughter did the hula while my son played. It was a huge hit! Nigel's energy and talent set the tone for the whole party. Everyone loved him! Nigel even taught my husband a song! I just can't sing enough of his praises. He was the best! I would recommend him for any event! Thank you Nigel!

We are a retail store and hired Nigel Thomas to perform on our indoor stage during our Grand Opening festivities. Nigel arrived early and even asked if he could start early. He was full of energy and was definitely entertaining. Our customers loved the steel drum and he is very talented with a wide range of songs to perform. I definitely recommend Nigel for any event.

Nigel was perfect for my event. He brings a lot of energy to his performance, is very warm and friendly, interacts very well with the crowd. This was an outdoor event and you could hear the steel drum even if you weren't close (and it wasn't too loud when you were close). I know everyone enjoyed his playing.

Hello Nigel,
What can I say about the event! I already knew you were a great musician and entertainer, but you left an indelible moment in the lives of our new doctors. For such a multicultural group, you would surely think that they were all from the islands. If you ever need a reference, please do not hesitate to give them my name and phone number, I'll be singing your praises.
Our heartfelt thanks.

Nigel, you were simply amazing on your steel drum. You were the complete success for our luau - hawaiian party. Our guests loved your music; it wasn't too loud or too soft, but just right. Many of our guests asked for your contact info for their parties. We would like to book you for our next party in December. Alexander Ladue, MO
Nigel,
Sorry you could not have more time with us. You were splendid last Saturday. I think I can remember the Bob Marley song that you taught me after the party. Hazel and I will be advertizing on your behalf here in Ellisville. Hope to see you at Dave’s party.

Hey Nigel,
I met you at Bahama Breeze, Chesterfield, last month. You are the first person from Grenada that I have met. You are the only steel drum player who plays with such passion and authenticity. My wife wants you to play for her travel agency’s event this summer.

Nigel, I thought you might like to know that I heard your recent performance at Dillards, Chesterfield, and really enjoyed it. The live music of your steel drums reverberating through the store was moving. For a moment, I thought I was on a cruise ship. Your music touched me - it was so upbeat and full of joy. Thanks for making my day. Peter Lake St Louis, Missouri
Nigel,
I have to give you a perfect 10, for that performance on Steel Drums in Creve Couer Lake. Dude you’re extraordinarily gifted. I wish I had money to invite you to my party.

Nigel,
Thank you for adding so much to our company's picnic. I can't imagine it without you! You added an infinite amount to the Cruise Ship ambience and overall enjoyment of all of our guests. We received many compliments from those at the event, and we look forward to, hopefully, you playing at another event for us in the not too distant future!!!

Hi Nigel
Just wanted to thank you for a job well done!
The music was perfect for our party. We have hired a steel drum performer before, but you far surpassed our expectations. Your song list had a little something for every one and they sure appeared to be enjoying themselves. Best of all, my husband Sam was thrilled!

Nigel, your performance on steel drum brought the tropics to our luau party and took our minds off the cold and snowy day. If we could have you at every party we held we would. I would strongly recommend your steel drum for any function, whatever the theme. Chelsea Ballwin, MO
Nigel,
We were completely delighted with your performance. You were very gracious and accommodating and knew just the right pacing and sound for our crowd. Many people took your card and I received many compliments on your music throughout and following your performance.

Nigel, I would like to thank you for such a remarkable presentation on steel drum for the KWANZAA’s celebration. Once again thank you. Patricia OFallon, Illinois
Nigel,
Thank you so much for all you did to make our event special! I thought about you when I dropped off the boxes at the shelters today! We could not have done it without you!
Peace be with you!
