Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"When we first heard the music that we wanted Jim to play in our ceremony it gave us both butterflies. The sound from the 10-string guitar was so delicate and beautiful. When I walked into the room the music was so romantic and was just magical. A perfect level of sound to enhance the occasion. Lots of people commented on how wonderful the music was. We watched our ceremony again recently and it's so lovely to hear the atmosphere. It really made a difference compared to recorded music. Jim is very professional and hugely talented. I like the fact we tailored the music to suit our ceremony and to make our day so special. I would highly recommend him. "

"We hired The Line Up for our wedding back in June after seeing them play at a friend's wedding about 5 years ago. Needless to say, we were not disappointed as these guys have really kept their edge, and from start to finish these guys were incredibly professional, really making our reception rock! The music was perfect for our party (including the impromptu instrumental played whilst the bride and bridesmaids did their thing!), and had everyone up and dancing the night away. The guys kept going right up till the end, and were just excellent throughout. Real quality musicians! Would highly recommend, and hope to see you no doubt at other friends weddings in the future :-)"

"The responsibility of finding a soloist at short notice to sing at the funeral of a very dear friend was somewhat daunting. It was a difficult time but you showed great understanding and sensitivity. Thank you for your beautiful rendition of Panis Angelicus and Ave Maria which my friend had specifically requested before she died. You showed great empathy throughout the Service, unobtrusively waiting for the moment to sing. Thank you for fulfilling my friend's wishes so perfectly. It meant so much to the family and to all of us"

"James really was such a brilliant addition to our wedding day. With the sun shining and James performing outside our guest and ourselves had the most wonderful time. James was a huge hit with all the guests from our 1 year old niece who was up and dancing to our older guests. We told James about our music preferences and he really hit the nail on the head with all of the songs he performed. We are so grateful James was able to perform at our wedding and really do think he put the cherry on top of our special day. Another huge Thankyou and well done to James having only two days to learn our first dance song he absolutely smashed it, filling the room with lots of happy tears. This really did mean so much to us that he was able to do this. We honestly could not recommend James more we hope to have his entertainment again in the future at more events as he was brilliant. Thank you so much James! Your charisma, musical talent and beaming personality were so loved and enjoyed by us all! Huge thanks and appreciation, Ward & Jess "

"Casado were so right for this occasion. At my request they played to over 100 people at a drinks reception at the ICC and then moved the instruments to a much bigger hall within the ICC and played for more the 350 people before dinner. They did this with such style, sounded superb and were so accommodating, working with acrobats, dancers and DJ’s. This was a big event and my clients and guests were very impressed. Really professional, I would be happy to recommend Casado to anyone. "

"I booked David for my Sisters wedding as a wedding gift/surprise and I'm so happy I did. David really added to the day and also learnt a song to play with the groom as a wedding gift. As a nice touch he also left a card for the Bride and Groom. I knew when booking him that he was good but this was a lovely touch to everything. 10 out of 10"

"Truly the BEST band ever and the most AMAZING people, If you are reading these reviews wondering if The Players are the band for you then let me reassure you that they are...... As a Wedding Photographer I have seen my fair share of bands but The Players were an easy pick for us, they really do know how to liven up the dance floor. We let them have free reign over what music to play and they picked some corkers. All our guests were raving over them and still are 2months later..in fact our friends loved them so much they are also booking them for their wedding :) They made our first dance so special and absolutely nailed the song, so much so we liked there version more than the original, I got in touch with Paddy from The Players and asked if it was possible for them to record there version of the song so I could give it to my wife for her Birthday - a few weeks later and I have the recording - Sara is going to LOVE it!!! If you are looking for a band then I honestly can't recommend them enough, They were easy to book, answered our questions promptly, came to the venue and set up with no issues, played great music all night and got our guests on the dance floor...they smashed it. Thank you all so much and we can't wait to be dancing away to your music at our friends wedding Lots of love Kieran + Sara "

"What playing! Here was technical virtuosity and musical colour illustrating the diversity of mood which these unusual pictures inspired. This brought to a dramatic conclusion a superb recital that was rich in diversity, enabling us to glimpse the variety of interpretative skills which John possesses. We hope to hear him again very soon."

"Jess did 3 x 45 minute sessions. She was truly amazing! She started with swing, then moved onto more modern tunes and followed this up with a mix of dance numbers. We had a great day, everyone was dancing in the beautiful Phoenix Garden, Covent Garden. My Dad was blown away with Jess and her music. She’s a very pretty lady as well! Everyone commented on how good she was. Thanks again Jess. First choice for any future event. "

"Where were you on Wednesday 25th May at 6pm? If the answer is anywhere but at Gratot church, you missed a treat! The people who were in the audience were richly entertained by a trio of talented musicians who freely gave of their time in order to raise funds in support of Ukraine. The programme was widely varied and featured Irene Donnelly (who sang in four languages, no mean feat ) , hitting some incredibly high notes, and violinist/violist Anne Tupling who played with a mellifluous or exciting tone as demanded by the different genres of music.  The concert started appropriately with Ukrainian folk music by Verchovino, featuring all three performers, in which you could sense the stamping of boots and clapping of hands, portrayed by the strong rhythmic beat. This set the high standard for the rest of the evening. We were treated to music by composers ranging from Handel to Gershwin, Puccini to Cole Porter, and also to the haunting Ashokan Farewell (written 40 years ago by the American composer, Jay Ungar), played with great sensitivity by Anne. This was possibly my favourite performance in the musical pot pourri. The evening was a resounding success and raised the wonderful sum of £600 to go to help those who have lost so much. Thank you for organising the event and bravo to the musicians for a memorable evening. You seemed to enjoy performing as much as we enjoyed listening. Encore please!"

"The feedback was fantastic so much so that we have decided to roll out the Gatsby themed house parties not only for this Christmas but also throughout the year."
