Francis The Solo Sensation
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We recently had the pleasure of having Francis perform at our event, and i can't recommend him highly enough! From the moment the music began, the energy with our guests transformed. The sou7nds of the steel drum brought a real unique and vibrant atmosphere that had our guests smiling, tapping feet and dancing! Francis was not only incredibly talented but also professional to work with, he arrived well prepared and tailored his set perfectly to suit the mood of our event. Whether playing laid back island tunes or upbeat rhythm's, the music was always engaging and beautifully performed. Many guests commented on how memorable the entertainment was and several asked for his contact details for future events. If you are looking to add something truly special to your event/gathering i highly recommend Francis - he brought the sunshine, no matter the weather :) Thank you Francis"

FAQs about hiring Steel drummers in Scottish Borders

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any steel drummer play my favourite song?

Professional steel drummers will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that steel drummers may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the steel drummer's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do steel drummers take to set up?

Your steel drummer will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the steel drummer prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our steel drummers are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our steel drummers will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
