Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"We booked It's No' Reel to play at our wedding by Loch Lomond and couldn't have been happier with our choice of ceilidh band. Tom was very responsive when we first got in touch and gave us helpful advice on the band arrangement and set-up best suited to our venue (where they had played before), how to handle any queries on the day, ways of making the dreaded "first dance" experience as painless as possible etc. All of the admin side was very straightforward and transparent - knowing we could count on our band to show up certainly reduced our stress levels! Needless to say, everything went very smoothly on our wedding day and the band was absolutely brilliant. Most of our wedding guests were non-Scots, so having a caller was particularly useful, and the Game of Thrones theme went down a treat. I'd thoroughly recommend It's No' Reel to anyone else planning a Scottish wedding (or just a ceilidh for the sake of it!) and hope I'll have the chance to hear them play again."

"The pianist brought his own cloud! He played down the heaven and the atmosphere was charged, we all felt it. I felt it to my core. I couldn't fault anything, I just don't give 10/10 to leave room for growth and professional curiosity. "

"I’m so sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on Thursday to say thank you for the wonderful music (on 8th October 2015 at Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh) , both Martin and I were caught up in the whirlwind of emotions! Thank you so much, it really made the atmosphere so special and I know our guests enjoyed hearing you play. In particular your version of ‘One Day Like This’ was amazing."

"It is an absolute pleasure to recommend Country Chicks UK, who performed at our private members’ "Uptown Hoedown" on June 27, 2026. Working with Sarah and her talented group was a seamless, delightful experience from start to finish. Arriving promptly at 4:30 PM for setup and sound check, the band brought infectious energy to The Odney Club gardens. They played a captivating range of country hits that perfectly fit our theme, provided playlists between sets, and even taught our members line dancing. Member feedback was extraordinary, with many calling it the highlight of the summer season. Country Chicks UK are professional, talented, and completely reliable. I highly recommend them for any event and look forward to welcoming them back."

"Sunset Sax, A big thank you for your services at Polpier on the 30th May. You sounded great! The fact that we had to retreat to the inner hall seemed to work fine and your sax playing was lovely. Wishing you every success in the future. Best regards, Angela."

"I took my Fiancé to a Blackbeard’s tea party gig in York with a view to see if he would like them to play at our wedding. As soon as they started playing, the place was bouncing and our decision was made. When they played at our wedding reception, we were not disappointed; they were so much fun, all our guests had an absolute ball! Be warned, put your dancing shoes on, because you will not stop dancing! They are just too scrummy to miss!"

"These guys are simply brilliant. Forget any notion you might have of boring brass bands, as these guys are vibrant and will get any crowd on their feet. If you need a band for that extra buzz, then I highly recommend these guys! "

"We had the best time! The guys were lovely and talented, as well as polite and efficient. The quality of the music was excellent and they got everyone moving on the dance floor. They also drove all the way to Suffolk from Liverpool - legends. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely book them again in the future."
