"HayLee played at a formal Private Event I hosted in July. They created the perfect vibe - Hayley and Lee met with me before hand to go through the set lists, timing of the evening and logistics. I was able to add a couple of songs I love as well. I will highly recommend them for any event and have already booked them for next year! "

"FMR records have discovered a gem in Webber. With a rich soulful voice and understated delivery he is a must for not only “ inner jazz” fans but party lovers alike. As well as original compositions “No need for labels” features superb covers of “Nights in white satin”, “ hat a difference a day makes” “ he long and winding road” and Lionel Riche's "Hello""

"My husband and I hired Stereo Sun for our wedding based on their awesome promo video and I really wanted a band with sax. In person the band were EVEN better and we were so happy. All of our guests had a great time and were up on the dance floor the whole night. Gigi’s voice is truly outstanding ! The band kept our guests entertained the whole night and if you're thinking about booking these guys - just do it! You will not regret it."

"I asked The River Jazz Quartet to play at my mother's funeral and wake: her will specified "New Orleans music to cheer the attenders" and The River Jazz Quartet filled the role perfectly. At the wake they changed to the sort of 1930's and 40's swing that Mother grew up with, and also played one of Jan's own compositions from the 1970's as a special treat. The matter was dealt with professionally, with the band giving good advice in advance and turning up in good time on the day. Highly recommended."

"What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with the Flux Ensemble from start to finish. We hired the String Duo for our outdoor wedding ceremony, which Martin accommodated by bringing a PA system to ensure it was amplified. He clearly worked hard catering the music to my tastes, and our personalities, rather than pushing his own ideas. The result was a sublime, tranquil ambience for the ceremony, which brought a tear to my eyes and those of many guests. It was an unforgettable ceremony. Highly recommend these guys- Thanks!!"

"We were looking for a Ceilidh band for our wedding anniversary and we came across the Willow Tree Barn Dance Band, and they were absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend them. All our guests commented on how good they were, and Mick was great in getting everyone up dancing with instructions on the particular routine for each song. We booked with Last Minute Musicians and the whole process was so easy, and Sarah-Jayne was wonderful to work with through the arrangement stages. We would highly recommended them both."

"I saw AMJ at my friends wedding in Gloucestershire. I knew they had booked them so looked them up prior to the big day and was impressed, but they exceeded all expectations on the night! We did not leave the dance floor all night. The band played so well, songs were slick, high energy from singer and band…Just so impressed with everything! Thank you for such a great night!! "

"Steph was lovely to deal with and her set list has all the classic singalongs. She made my 30th birthday party and I would recommend her to all of my friends. If you are looking for someone to make your party feel special then definitely book Steph! "

"Rory put on after show performances for Manchester Camerata at the Bridgewater Hall and at the Royal Northern College of Music respectively. I am pleased to say that both performances went successfully; Rory brought a tasteful cosmopolitan selection of Brazilian tunes and acoustic Latin, blending well-known arrangements with original compositions, which created a buzzing vibe and went down very well with our audiences, keeping them at the bar all evening! Great fun and would definitely book for future events."
