Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Robert Benson is fantastic! We were lucky enough that Robert was available to perform for our wedding reception. I couldn’t recommend him enough, he is super friendly and very quick with communicating which put me at ease especially when organising a wedding. All our guests have been telling us how brilliant he was! "

"I met Gareth after having had a fairly comprehensive email correspondence with him, where we had discussed exactly I would like to achieve and what he felt he could offer. It felt very promising, but I knew the moment I saw him that he was absolutely right for this difficult occasion. When he sat down at the organ in the Chapel and rattled off several really wonderful pieces I found out how really special he is and that I had been really lucky to pick him. He had agreed to work with me on a very personal programme of music including a performance of songs with another professional soloist - a mini concert (Purcell and Duparc). The result turned out to be quite stunning with beautifully performed pieces from them both, as if they had worked together for years. Having played various gorgeous pieces throughout, at the end, he gave us his adaptation of Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending which was just beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble and I have received so many letters from people attending who said how much they enjoyed the music that day. Thank you Gareth for everything you did. I would always recommend you, because music is in your bones, you play like a dream and are an utter professional. Frances"

"Hi Jess You were simply perfect for the venue and the theme. Your music and look set the tone for a real 1920s vintage feel – we loved your repertoire of songs and it had just the right mix. Our guests were glowing in their praise for you and it created such a vibrant, feel-good atmosphere. I only wish we had had the chance to dance more – we were simply too focused on drinking and chatting to friends! We had an absolutely amazing evening (although as 3.00am came around it was certainly time to head home!!) and that was down, in no small part, to your involvement. Jess, thank you so much and for being so determined to honour the booking by having such a painful, tortuous journey – hope the hotel was OK! Wishing you all the very best in the future and I very much our paths cross again in the future. Kindest regards Jimmy & Fleur"

"If you love live music and particularly the Saxophone then Jan is your man! He played at our wedding a few weeks ago and I couldn’t speak highly enough of him. His set list had a huge array of songs spreading all genres and he performed them all to a really high standard. He set the tone perfectly for our wedding breakfast and then seamlessly turned this up as we transitioned into the night do. Thanks so much for being a part of our day, hopefully see you again in the future ?"

"Phil was absolutely fantastic! He performed at the drinks reception at our wedding, he was brilliant! Everyone was commenting on what a great singer he was! Helped bring a brilliant atmosphere and stopped anyone noticing the rain! He’s so friendly and I’d recommend him to everyone. Thanks again!"

"The event was a huge success, the band arrived in plenty of time to set up and entertained early guests with background music before the main event. They managed to get all our guests up and dancing - I have never been to a dance where the men had to dance together - but they were all so keen to join in. I would have no hesitation to book through LMM again, and Craigi Ceilidh band would be my first choice."

"Debbie, it was a real pleasure having you perform for us all at Dudhope Bowling Club on Saturday evening. The feedback from the members was very positive indeed, they enjoyed your choice of songs an some of our "older" members said they were tired the following day from all the dancing! Thanks again"

"I booked Rob for our elegant end-of-year ball. Rob took our logistically complex moments in his stride and was so flexible when things changed. The sets were fantastic, I've already recommended him to several people to book for other events. Firmly in my 'little black book' for future gigs. Thanks! "

"If you're looking for a band to get everyone up and dancing and having a great time, look no further - these guys are FANTASTIC! They have a huge repertoire - from the Beatles to the Killers - and the front man knows what's going to get a particular set of people on the dance floor. I've lost count of the number of people who've come up to me since the party to say what a great band. And on top of all that they were really nice, polite guys. I can't recommend Primed too much, if they're available book them!"
