"Thank you SO much for the utterly incredible performance you guys gave for our big day. You guys were off the charts, the sound was amazing, the songs were perfect and everyone kept telling me that the band were exceptional. We couldn't have asked for more from you guys - you also utterly delivered on our first dance, it sounded beautiful and we're so grateful."

"I would highly recommend this string quartet to play at weddings. From the initial booking/planning stage, right through to playing on the big day they were totally amazing. Our guests loved them. Thank you X "

"Thank you, guys, for finding time beforehand to rehearse with Amy, the bridegroom’s sister, who sang Elton John’s “Your Song” for the bride and groom’s 1st dance. It was beautiful and very special to have her sing their first song with accompaniment from the band. I think everyone was very moved by it (we are hoping someone filmed it but are not sure!). The dance floor was packed all evening for the ceilidh and we all had great fun - which was the intention. It was an amazing day, evening and whole weekend - we carried on the celebrations on Sunday! Thank you to Black Velvet Band for helping to make the wedding so memorable. "

"Martin proved to be he ideal entertainer for my 80th birthday. It was not meant to be a " dancing " evening and his repertoire was superb. He was very professional ( And very reasonable !!! ). Would recommend both him and you to interested parties"

"I was most impressed by the services of Last minute musicians. I had an unusual request- I wanted a string quartet to serenade my wife when she awoke on her 50th birthday. Sarah-Jane managed to find a quartet that was prepared to travel 2 hours to be with us by 6:45am. Valtie and the rest of Arabesque Strings were absolutely fantastic and created the perfect start to a wonderful birthday! They braved the cold weather and managed a faultless outdoor performance in spite of the temperature being only 4 degrees."

" It was great to meet you and the band yesterday and thank you for all your wonderful playing which really added to the atmosphere of the evening. Several people were very complimentary about you all so thanks so much and I hope we’ll have the chance to use you again in the future."

I'm glad we went down so well. It was good to have a little crowd of dancers towards the end too! Graham

"The band were very accommodating to all our personal requests. They bought a smile to the faces of all our guests, not only with great music but with their vibrant personalities. Cost was very fair and worthwhile for what made our day extra special. We would highly recommend for any private event. "

"I booked Partyzone for our PFA 'Band Night', feeling confident that they could satisfy a variety of ages and music tastes. However, I sold tickets to people who had a phlegmatic response to the idea of a 'band night' so was relying Partyzone to make it enjoyable everyone, and get what I thought may be a challenging audience, to let their hair down! Communication with Ben was great from the outset and the band arrived early to set up. They were familiar with the venue, set up and soundcheck were smooth. When the band began to play, my fears were allayed within the first 10 minutes as most people were up on their feet....within a couple more songs, I could only see 3 people sitting in the whole room. There was a plethora of variety and this excited everyone. Several people were 'popping in for an hour' but at the end of the evening were still there and chanting for more. At the post 'band night' meeting, all the feedback was great and everyone (if they could remember) had a great time. We are hoping to have another band night this year and I hope that we are able to book Partyzone again. If we do, I think we will have a much more enthusiastic response. Furthermore, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to hire a cool band. "

"You made our wedding reception utterly wonderful and so many of our guests have said how much they enjoyed the evening and the music. My 93 year old grandmother refused to leave until the end and her feet were tapping all evening....she even joined in the last dance and that has to be credit to you. One table of guests had never been to a ceilidh before and said how much fun it was. "

"Here at Heart events we love The Misophone Collective. They played in our cafe on Tuesday night 30 April and they were amazing, we would welcome them back anytime. They started off with some Django Reinhart style numbers, playing in particular to the strengths of the 2 violins. In the second set they moved into a European gypsy theme getting more and more hectic and lively. The audience loved them and were up clapping and dancing- almost dancing on the tables! "

"Nice and Easy to Book. I booked a Bee Gees Tribute Artist, solo Barry Gibb option, and it was Brilliant. All our Residents enjoyed the Music and would certainly book again. Good that you can listen to them on the website before you book."

"Gary and Evrod have just played for us at the weekend and they were fantastic. They played for about 70 people at our garden party and everyone raved about their performance for days after, and I'm sure they will get many bookings from it. Thanks again and will certainly be using you in the future. "

"Marshalli and the rest of the Stereobeats played at our wedding last weekend and they were amazing. Great communication and really flexible with the event and they got everyone up and dancing. Good mix of celidh music and bangers. Everyone loved them - would highly recommend!"

"Hi Matt, we really can't thank you enough. You made our wedding exactly what we wanted. A massive party! The music was fantastic. All out guests commented how fab you were. We were dreading an empty dance floor, it didn't occur to us that we would be fighting for space! Absolutely perfect from beginning to end! Best wishes! Sarah & David."

"The Shooglers were real stars at our wedding in Lochgoilhead in October. They performed a perfect mix of ceilidh and rock covers, sometimes in the same dance! It really had everyone up on the dance floor for most of the evening. Afterwards, everyone wanted to know where we'd got them from including the venue coordinator who sees bands every week. Most of all, they have a great sense of humour - they realise it's all about everyone having a great time. Thanks again guys, you were awesome. "
