Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"I engaged Gareth to accompany two choirs and soloists in a fundraising concert in aid of Macmillan cancer. He was SUPERB in every way with experience in bringing out the best in all performers from the professionals to the amateurs. In particular, his musicianship, sensitivity, ability to extemporise sympathetically and enhance any performance. Gareth's musical skills have to be heard and witnessed to be understood for how his playing transforms and securely underpins the Music and the people performing. He also accompanied me in a gorgeous flute and piano piece 'song for my mother ' by Geoff Easles. The Jazz style in this piece highlighted another wonderful aspect of Gareth's abilities - to play jazz in a free and effortless way . On a personal level Gareth is also very professional and approachable and reliable . The adult choir for those with learning disabilities were boosted in their confidence and musicality to sing with him too. It was a joy to watch them and they received a standing ovation! Simply FANTASTIC , EXCELLENT, NO HESITATION to RECOMMEND except that he might not be so available the next time I need him ! Thank you Gareth. Veronica Austin- concert organiser . "

"We had Grogibear Trio for our wedding in July and the guys were brilliant. So easy to work with from beginning to end and their range of songs was perfect. The band played our first dance and father daughter dance and it was great! I would very much recommend this band."

"We wanted to say an enormous thank you for all your music on our wedding day. The acoustic trio created the perfect atmosphere for the drinks reception and the evening band made it a legendary party! Thank you for learning and performing our first dance Concrete & Clay, it really was a dream moment. The dance floor was never quiet and your fantastic set list ensured that everyone was on their feet all night. We heard so many compliments on the day and our guests have not stopped talking about Groove Bus since. We also really appreciated your extended encore. We had the best day ever and did want it to end; but what an ending: spinning around in the middle of a huge circle of our friends and family all belting out Oasis at the top of their lungs!"

"Thank you, Jules and Anne-Marie, for creating such a lovely ambience throughout the most special moment of our lives. My father was an enormous classical music enthusiast and the delightful timbre of the piano and cello invoked such a warm feeling that reminded me of him being there. Thank you also for putting up with the rain throughout the day!"

"To Sunset Sax, We hope this email finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the amazing job you did as the DJ & Saxophonist at our wedding. Your song choices, talent and energy truly made our special day unforgettable. From the spontaneous Sweet Caroline to Love Story at the end, your ability to read the crowd and keep the party going was truly impressive. We know it's hard battling nice weather outside! We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they had dancing the night away. Your professionalism and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It was such a relief to know that we could trust you to handle the music and keep the flow of the evening seamless. Thank you once again for contributing to the magic of our wedding day. We will always cherish the memories created on the dance floor, thanks to you. Warm regards, Josh & Rachel. "

"I am not quite sure where to start because Bethany is amazing!! Me and my (now) husband found Bethany online and we loved her so we got in touch and managed to see her locally before we confirmed booking and within a minute of her first song we were sold and knew we had to have her! From that night to the wedding day, Bethany was a dream to work with and so easy to contact and so helpful with timings etc and how things work! She sung and learnt our walking down the isle song which is so special to us! If I could give Bethany 10 stars I would as she is fabulous! If you are thinking of booking her, just do it! You will not regret it! Thank you for such amazing memories Bethany, Adam and Emma xx"

"Wow! look no further in your search for a band! Absolute played an acoustic set during the day and then 2 full band sets in the evening of our wedding on 7/8/21. All of which were incredible! They were so adaptive when we ended up with the first dance at the end of the first set and really felt the vibe of the wedding and selected a great range of songs to suit!! The dancefloor was full all evening which says it all. Everyone commented on how good they were. AMAZING! Book them now!! James and Amy, Wedding at Top Farm in Norfolk – 7th August 2021 "

"This is an amazing ensemble, and I really enjoyed their live performance. Everything sounds quite harmonic, including the trumpet which is probably the uniqueness of the group. Glad I was able to enjoy them live. "

"Rachel entertained us at our WI Group meeting - we had a really wonderful evening she immediately set everybody at ease with her lovely warm personality. She sang beautifully to a mixed age group choosing from a wide range of songs - classical/ musical and modern. She even managed several requests as well. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Rachel to sing at other WI events or to any of my friends. A big thank you Rachel. "
