Performance was good. Overall satisfaction was damaged by Band leader being rude to security building which was trying to help and sort out parking spot.

The band leader refutes the claim he was rude. It was agreed by the client before the event that a parking space would be provided at the venue. When the band leader arrived at the venue , he was met by a female employee at the loading bay and was instructed to unload the instruments at the loading bay before parking. The band leader waited for instructions of where to park for about 30 minutes as there was no designated space ready for him to park his vehicle. It was very stressful because he and his wife had to take the equipment to the top floor of the venue and set up to be ready to perform. Band leader is in his mid sixties. All the band leader said to the Security person and female employee a space should have been ready for his vehicle. He didn't get a response from either of these people. He felt he was inconvenience . No refreshments were offered during the duration on site ,the band leader had to ask for a drink after travelling from East London to Central London and worrying about how long he would have to wait to park his vehicle.. If the client had an issue regarding the parking situation he should have spoken to the Band leader direct rather than putting it on a review, then it could have been discussed immediately. No apology was offered to the Band leader for keeping him waiting by anybody. The band leader didn't complain he just ensured he gave a professional performance to the audience.

JUMA were absolutely fantastic and we've heard some glowing feedback from our wedding guests! My mum and dad in particularly were loving JUMA - my dad and the band leader really hit it off! (In his words, it felt like he'd be transported right back to Jamaica). Thank you so much, JUMA. It was a very special day made more special with your music! Nadine
