Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Having reached the ripe old age of 65 this year, my partner organised a big Grumpy Old Gits Retirement Party for me in a marquee in our garden in Pangbourne. We had over 120 attend & most guests came dressed up as Old Gits (Victor Meldrew, Alf Garnet, Compo, Nora Batty etc.) and we needed a local band to get the place rocking, with a wide variety of covers from the 50's to the present day. Found Mike's band Back2Back (just up the road in Wantage) on this site and were not dissapointed. Fantastic set, got everyone up dancing, entertained us with humour between songs and even threw in a wireless solo guitar trip around the whole marquee. Very impressive PA sytem and lights, all remotely controlled by their own Sound Engineer and six musicians who know how to put on a very professional and tight sounding show. Everyone kept asking how we could afford such a good band. The nice thing is, they were so reasonable, we still had change out of our budget to spend the rest on a decent firework display at 10:30 in the evening, and after that, the band played on!! They were so good in fact, that as we organise the annual Pangbourne Village Fete each year, we have booked them as our main act for the second weekend in June 2019. I advise you try them out for your event before then (or come to the fete next year). Absolute rockers, thanks Mike and the rest of the band, see you in June, if not before at another event. Cheers Dave P."

"Southwest played at my husbands 40th birthday party and were such nice guys and totally brilliant musicians. Their playlist was varied and perfect for what we wanted. They were happy to learn a song that I wanted and played requests through the evening. The fact they they played acoustic and then dj’d till the end made the night run smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys. Thanks for such a fantastic night."

"DJ Karl Joseph communicated well before the event. He arrived on time. He played music from a Spotify list we’d given him to adapt to the mood of the party. He also took requests. Everyone had a great night dancing and had great memories, Thank you, I highly recommend DJ Karl Joseph."

"Saw Loaded! – Britpop vs Dance at a venue in Milton Keynes a couple of months ago. We liked them so much we decided to book them for our wedding. They’re very professional and certainly get the audience on their feet dancing! Highly recommended."

"Ceol beag ceilidh band proved to be an excellent choice for our annual dinner dance. They demonstrated the steps, had an easy beat for dancing, encouraged participation, and there were always lots of people on the floor. Everyone enjoyed the ceilidh and by popular request we were delighted to welcome them back the next year. They did not let us down."

"We booked Soul Factor for our wedding in April and they were absolutely incredible. Not only we’re they extremely organised and accommodating in the lead up, but their performance on the night was incredible. We were so thrilled and have had so many people ask for their details! Hugely recommend! Izzy & Tom, Wedding at Family Home in Surrey – 22nd April 2023 "

"I just want to say how incredibly impressed we were with MasterSax. Working with him felt like I was working with someone I had known for years. The communication beforehand was really appreciated, ensuring that I was fully prepared before his arrival. I think it just added to the personal touch. He was really patient and accommodating and listened to what we wanted and delivered at such a high level. Everybody loved him and still today a week after the event people are still talking about him. It was so hot during that night - I think it reached 33 degrees yet Phil didn’t let it phase him and he stayed so professional throughout even though it was uncomfortably hot. He is such a unique talent and we will be sure to use him again on future events."
