"We were 100% satisfied with using Last Minute Musicians! The entire process was easy and the booking fees were made very clear right from the beginning. The musician agents were incredibly accommodating, listening to exactly what type of musician we were after and made sure to provide quick responses to any requests. The musician they recommended was Becky Shell and we were blown away by how enchanting her performance was. She was a true professional, arriving on time and made our wedding reception so special. We would happily use this service again"

"Thank you very much for recommending The Shooglers Band for the Warrant Officers and Senior Rates Mess Christmas Ball. The evening was a great success and I received several comments on how good the band was, and their ability to get people onto the dance floor and then of course keeping them there. I will certainly recommend them to others and also look to using them for future functions in the Mess. Once again many thanks. "

"We had a wonderful day and had a brilliant time courtesy of George and The Scottish Ceilidh Band. So many of our guests also said how much they enjoyed it and we were never short of willing participants. Thanks for all your help!"

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"George is a versatile musician and was recently featured on the soundtrack of a Turkish series called Club on Netflix. His voice, imbued with emotion and authenticity, adds depth to any performance. "

"It was a little daunting booking a band based on a few small clips on a website, but we knew straight away they were the right band for us. The Rampart Street Ramblers were amazing value for money, and really made our wedding special. They learnt our first dance for us, and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. Everyone commented on how wonderful and unique the band was, and the whole booking process was quick and easy. I would rebook on this site, and rebook this band without a doubt!"

"Hi guys. Just to say a big thank you for your performance on Saturday. You are a wonderful band and kept everyone up on their feet. It was a great conference and made all the better by yourselves. Well done! Jane Brown Robert Burns World Federation"

"The band were faultless, they set up quickly and quietly with no fuss. Played two sets with disco in between and afterwards. The songs were all current and excellently performed, filling the dance floor from the first dance to the last. I'd thoroughly recommend them; Brilliant."

"It's No' Reel were brilliant from start to finish. Very efficient with replying to emails etc in the lead up to the wedding which always re-assured me that they had everything under control. The music on the day was a great mixture of traditional ceilidh tunes with a modern twist. The numbers were very clearly called out by Tom and encouraged folk to get up and join in. The band were also really accommodating with us interrupting them to do some of our own music and weren't stressed by our running lateness! All in all a very professional band and we would recommend them to anyone!"

"One of the leading British musicians in an American dominated scene who provided the spiritual and emotional heart with an extended Romanian-style improvisation. His playing, the versatility on display throughout the night... a reminder of the sheer power of great musicianship"

"Lilac, Remko and all of the band are simply brilliant!! Wholeheartedly recommended! We hired Funk With Us to play at our wedding party. From the very first enquiry Lilac was super friendly, very considerate of what we wanted, flexible and always there to answer our questions and offer good suggestions on the song lists, set-up, etc. And the performance on the night was amazing!! High quality sound and musicianship, but more importantly the whole band did a fantastic job in creating a fun party vibe which got everyone dancing for hours. All of our guests commented for days afterwards how great they were! Thank you Funk With Us, you guys rock!!! ?"

"Blue Jewel were absolutely fantastic at our April wedding! Many of our guests had never been to a Ceilidh before, but Steve and the band made sure that everyone got involved and had a brilliant time - I think everyone made it to the dance floor at some point, and many never left! The band were flexible with timings on the night and professional throughout, making for a truly enjoyable evening. We are so pleased that we booked you, and highly recommend you to anyone considering a Ceilidh. Thanks again, Hannah and Joe x"

"I finally went along to see G Celtic Folk Rock Band when they played at the Old Printworks in Wakefield, close to where I live. I've known Chris for over thirty years. Knew he played fiddle in several different bands over the years and decided it was high time I made the effort! I wasn't disappointed. I was expecting straight Irish folk music but they have a blend of rock, folk, Irish, Yorkshire ballads. Great music, very tight sound with a nod and a wink to traditional Irish and not so traditional ballads. Great musicians who play well together. I intended staying for a couple of pints but stayed the entire evening. Great show boys! See you next time!"
