Kavel arrived on time, set up his gear and started playing. His playlist suited the informal occasion perfectly.

Kavel was so happy and smiley, his music was fantastic and we were so pleased with his service and performance. Label’s music was so perfect for our wedding reception and we couldn’t have been happier. We would definitely recommend him and use him again. Thank you for a lovely day

It was an honour to make this day extra special for Sophie and her husband, they ensured that I was well looked after and my needs were met.

Kavel is a great performer, he kept everyone entertained and clearly enjoys his work. Our community event was a success because of him.

I was chilling at the Beach Bar when this guy turned up and really blew me away with his Steel Pan music

I’ve seen Kavel played before in Marlborough busking and he’s awesome
