Well where do we start, mark was amazing from the first point of contact to the second he left!! An absolute gent. His voice is amazing, he saved us very last minute but he played as if it was planned for month. Put on an amazing live show for us everyone danced until the guitar was put down! Highly recommend to all he is for everyone. Thank you so much mark we couldn’t of asked for anyone better- all night everyone was saying how amazing he was and so much fun❤️

Mark was great at communicating with me and the venue which helped the smooth transition of the night. I have never organised a surprised party before and Mark aided and guided me along the process (thankfully) using his previous experience. A number of our guest's said they enjoyed the singing and would consider him for other parties too.

Mark was super. Arrived early, familiarised himself with the set up of the day, played music and sung throughout the day and everyone got up and had a dance. He had such a wide variety of songs, there was something for everyone.

Thank you soooo much for making Pips’ birthday so special!!! Everybody loved you and I’ll sure you’ll be playing in Chalford again soon with the amount of people asking where we booked you from. We’ll also send you some pics from the night too! Thanks again Mark you’re an absolute star!

What a joy Mark was at our village fete, the evening was cold but Mark kept us there with his crowd pleasing tunes as we danced around the fire pits under the stars to Maggie May, Honky Tonk Woman and Mustang Sally to name but three of the best 😊
We would definitely recommend Mark for your event

Mark was great and we enjoyed his music, but we lost a lot of our own music in the afternoon due to an overrun on the speeches and Wedding breakfast. Therefore we decided to let Mark go early so we could have more of our own music we had chosen for the dj. Mark is a talented guitarist and we would certainly recommend him!

Mark Bowman (Wedding Reception) 13 Jun 2023

Mark was absolutly outstanding, his singing style and overall understanding of the room made the reception party go with a full swing. He sang a complet mix of music from different era's and genres which kept everyone involved and the dance floor continually busy. He interacted with the guests and was very accommodating to the time restrainsts we had as an outside venue and also any guests requests. I would highly recommend Mark for any live entertainment function.

This quick note to thank you for recommending Mark. He was excellent and everyone appreciated the quality of his music plus the ability to recognise the songs from his repertoire that would get people up and dancing. It was an excellent evening thanks to Mark and I am very pleased to recommend him.

It was a great evening and everyone absolutely loved your performance. However a few sore heads and aching limbs on Sunday!!!!
Thank you so much for making it special.

Brilliant night with Mark. It was a party for a 70 year old and he got us all dancing and singing along to our favourites. Would highly recommend him and would certainly use him again.

Simon (Party) 14 Jul 2022

Mark was excellent and I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking to add a bit of live music to their party. Despite stepping in at the last moment (we only booked him the day before when our previous band pulled out), he communicated well, arrived promptly and set up with minimal fuss. He was very flexible regarding timings and judged his setlist and the crowd perfectly with some laid back numbers to start with and some more upbeat songs in the later sets. All this despite constantly being pestered by children to let them sing or to play their favourite song! We would happily book him again in an instant.

Wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that Mark did a fabulous job for my birthday. It was a tough crowd as everyone was so spread out but Mark was a trooper and kept going and eventually we had my friends up and dancing. Music was varied and well received and Mark was very professional, prompt and friendly. There were lots of comments about how great he was as a performer, very impressive. I’d certainly recommend him to others. Thanks very much again for your help.

The booking process was very simple and Mark was really helpful and communicative during the lead up to our event. He was really open to listening to our brief and ideas, and sharing his own to make for a great event! Everyone really enjoyed the evening.

Mark performed at our daughter’s 30th birthday party and we can honestly say he was excellent. His repertoire covered every age group and he kept the momentum going throughout the evening. All our guests said how good he was and we would definitely book him again for other functions. Thank you very much, Mark.

Mark was great - arrived on time and set up before anyone arrived. good sense of humour. He played all the right sort of music that I had asked for-and sounded even better than the clip on-line. All the comments I heard from people who came to the party were extremely positive. Several people asked for details - so there may be more bookings coming Mark's way! I would book him again.

Marshall Dale 11 Feb 2016

I booked Mark through Last Minute Musicians. Great guitar playing, with a range ideally suited to during and after a Golf Club lunch. The booking procedure was very straight forward highly recommendable agency and musician.

For our school's 60th celebration picnic we wanted live music to create a good atmosphere for both the children and parents. Mark had kids, teachers, mums and dads all singing along and dancing. He is excellent at reading a crowd and adjusting the music to suit the event. He is a great singer and performer and I can really recommend him for any event. Thank you Mark for adding so much to our day. We had loads of complements after and everybody loved him.

Better late than never, just want to say a big thank you for a great night on Sunday. We had a fantastic time and going by the amazing comments and cards and messages we have been receiving so did all our friends and family. Superb music that just fitted in so well with our requirements and great last set that had everyone jumping off the walls!!
Saw my brother dancing for the first time in 20 years! totally brilliant .
Thank you for taking the time to get the backing track for our first dance and wow wasn't that a surprise success!!! Everyone loved it.
Your personality shone through all night. I hope you enjoyed it too and I hope that we can one day ask you to play again. Many thanks and thank you for helping to make our wedding day so special!

We had a brilliant time with Mark at the helm. I am no musician so I asked two of the guests to help me with selecting someone and when they saw Mark play they agreed that he was just fantastic. He is not only a very talented musician and singer but he knew how to interact with the party and lift the music as the party developed.. I would recommend Mark without question.

We booked mark on Sarah-Jane's recommendation for a 40th birthday party. Mark was professional and friendly and easy going. His repertoire is vast and suited all guests. We were able to leave the entertainment in his very capable hands which left us free to mingle and enjoy every minute. We would would not hesitate to hire him to play again,and have given out his number to several friends. "A BIG THANKYOU MARK" you made our night!

Mark played at our party in Wiltshire on August bank holiday Sunday afternoon. He was an absolute success. He arrived, he tuned up and he got on with it in an easy going and charming way. Everyone danced, everyone sang and EVERYONE shouted for more.
I'd have no problem recommending Mark highly he really did make the party special. We would have him again anytime.

Darren and Sarah 14 Jul 2013

We just wanted to make sure to tell you how much we enjoyed Mark's performance on the night and his approach to ourselves and also our family and friends. Mark was extremely welcoming, calming and easy to speak with. He seamlessly slotted into his pre, mid and post sessions and then continued to play great tracks for absolutely as long as he could. That our family and friends were still calling for more was an honest response to their enjoyment,we know because his playing kept us both on the floor dancing perhaps more than mingling as we should! We wish him all the best in the future and we are sure many more couples and parties will be the better for his contribution too.

The following is not made up.... but a reflection of the evening!

Thank you very much for providing us with fantastic entertainment for our après-ski party! From us being very unhelpful in saying 'we like anything!' you correctly gauged what music we really liked and provided us with superb 90s indie rock music which took us far away from the 40th celebration and back to the 'good old party days'! You also added in some classics which had everyone up on the dance floor.

Many people commented to me during the evening, and since, about how brilliant the music was and I am sure you will be getting some requests from them too. Some couldn't believe it was just you and thought we had an entire band up at the front!

I only wish we could repeat the party again - we loved it and the music was integral to our party's success.

Thank you so much,

James and Trish, Chris and Vicki

Just wanted to say how thrilled we were with Mark. He could not have done a better job. We had loads of compliments on the night too by our friends. He was excellent and he judged what music to play when perfectly.
If you ever need anyone to confirm how good he is then I am happy to be contacted.
Thank you again!

Many thanks again,

Dear Sarah Jane,

I just wanted to let you know what a brilliant job Mark did for us on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed the music - it was perfectly gauged to the party and Mark was very easy to work with. All our guests commented on what an amazing talent he is. It couldn't have been any better - even the freezing cold evening didn't stop us as Mark moved into the games room and the dancing really began in earnest. So thank you for the recommendation, and thanks to Mark for making my husband's 50th a truly memorable and special occasion.

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you - it's been a bit hectic at our end. Thank you for coming out to West Sussex to play on Saturday night. The music was fantastic and pitched at our guests perfectly. I've had a number of comments from people who said that you made it a great evening and it wouldn't have been the same with a different guitarist - I wholeheartedly agree.

During the summer we were lucky enough to have Mark play at my mum's 60th birthday bash. Mark was absolutely fantastic! He was perfectly professional throughout and so friendly and funny. He played a really good mix of my mum's favourite music (60's tracks) and other tracks too. He responded really well to the crowd and had everyone up and dancing - from the 3 year old to the 80 year olds, and all in between! We enjoyed it so much that we ended up asking him if he could stay a couple of hours longer but he sadly had another gig to go to! I know that a lot of the guests were keen to see if Mark was free to play at their upcoming summer parties… he was such a hit with everyone - I've never had so many people ask me "where did you find him?!!". I would thoroughly recommend Mark whatever your occasion. I know that I'll be contacting him again next time we have a do! Thanks so much again Mark for making my mum's birthday so special!

Miranda 11 Jul 2011

I just wanted to write to let you know how wonderful Mark was at my fathers 50th last night! He played all of my fathers favourites perfectly and we loved every minute of it! I hope he managed to enjoy himself as well! Thank you so much and will definitely be in touch next time we need a musician...it's my mothers 50th next year so will keep you posted! Take care and thanks again, Miranda xx

We had a great night on Saturday.

Mark was absolutely superb, he had the place jumping and I have many emails today commenting on how he he was. Also a great guy and happy to do all that we asked. He even allowed me up for a rendition of the Wild Rover!

Thanks again

Mark was excellent; we left him to decide what to play and when and he judged it perfectly, keeping a low profile to begin with while people mingled and chatted then gradually stepping up the pace. When he was in full swing the everyone was up dancing and singing and it was an absolute riot. Most of our guests came to us and asked how we found him and said how the thoroughly enjoyed the music. Some said best party ever - we were absolutely thrilled and enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
