Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"An excellent performance from Marc! He played a full evening of completely acoustic songs which everybody loved! Marc was extremely professional and worked his set around our evening with a good mix of old & new songs - a top performance and we would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Happy New Year and a belated big thank you for playing so wonderfully at our wedding in Ripley. Whilst I didn’t get to hear you play as much as I would have liked, due to bride duties, there have been so many people complimenting you in the letters we have received since the wedding. A New Year’s Eve we will never forget and many thanks for the part you played in that. Best wishes, Charlotte "

"This has to be the best band and singers we have ever had on in 15 years of me running Chapel. They were stunning and lovely guys too. They arrived three hours early due to doing a gig in Bristol the night before, so my sound tech, who they rang, came all the way in so they could drop off their kit and spend sometime in the green room having lunch and a beer. Invoices are paid out on a Wednesday of each week. Jan image Centre Manager & Director of Programming Chapel Arts Centre Ltd St. James's Memorial Hall Lower Borough Walls Bath BA1 1QR"

"Michael and his band made the party. They were extremely professional (before the party I was already reassured by their professionalism and attention to detail). As soon as they started playing, the atmosphere of my party became joyful and fun, they sounded amazing (they play and sing fantastic and their sound system was great). It was my 50th birthday party with a mix of people from a broad range of nationalities and almost everyone was on their feet dancing because their music and presence was irresistible. Furthermore, they made me feel very special because they included my name in some of the songs that they played (it was all Cuban/Latinamerican as per my request) which was really fun. I would absolutely recommend them and would hire them again if I had another party. They were the highlight of my event (many guests of my party said this to me as well)."

Hi Teresa, I'm so happy to read again this amazing review from you. Thank you very much again for everything! The food was delicious, everyone was friendly from the beginning and your guests were a lovely crowd to entertain, dancing from the first set and getting involved in the show easily. We did enjoy performing at your 50th Birthday Party. Thank you so much for having us. Kind regards, Miguel. VIP Formula

"Luke sang at our wedding last weekend and I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing job. His vocals were fantastic and he was more than happy to learn and sing our first dance song. He and his band Le Beat were spot on and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire a singer or band. Thanks again Luke, top job!"

"Darren was just fantastic and transformed my Dad’s 90th Birthday Party from a pleasant family gathering to something special. His performance was perfect and every aspect of making the arrangements, choosing the song selection, arrival and setting-up, was faultless. The whole experience was a real pleasure and all the guests (and venue staff) thoroughly enjoyed hearing him perform. "

"Ellen was our wedding singer during our reception drinks on 5th September 2025. We booked Ellen through encore musicians and as soon as we came across Ellen, we knew we couldn't hesitate with booking with her straight away. Ellen is probably the nicest wedding musician you will come across, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Ellen whether through emails or zoom calls always super friendly, always checking in, making sure everything is in place and we didn't have to think about anything, Ellen made sure the day was smooth and even learnt 3 songs of our choice. Ellen has the ABSOLUTE best voice and is super talented - we had many comments from our guests during their time getting drinks at the bar at how amazing she sounded. Would not hesititate to book Ellen again and highly recommend her for all events! Thanks again, Holly & Liam xx"

"I asked Sally to sing at my wedding reception in July 2005 having known her for some years prior to that, and knowing that she would be trustworthy and not let me down for my big day. I was not disappointed. Sally provided a superb performance with her high end backing tracks and my guests were blown away by her voice and brilliantly friendly and professional demeanour. To this day (17 years later), my friends/wedding guests still say what an awesome singer entertained us all on that day and I would not hesitate to recommend Sally for any event, small or large as she definitely has the presence and amazing personality to carry off a superb performance anywhere."

"For 13 years I have coordinated highly successful ceilidh dances in Bishopbriggs High School and now the new Bishopbriggs Academy. These Christmas dances are the culmination of 3 weeks of social dance with all year groups and it it a priority of mine that we have live music to create an upbeat atmosphere. I consider it part of my job to ensure these traditional dances are taught in school in a way pupils will enjoy and will perpetuate. This year I secured the services of The Shooglers for our S5/6 dance. The evening was a fantastic success and enjoyed immensely by pupils and staff alike. The band worked a perfect blend of traditional Scottish dance tunes with contemporary music the pupils are familiar with, which heightened their participation in – and positive attitude to – “social dancing”. I have already asked the band to perform at next year’s S5/6 dance in the school. I know it will be a special occasion. I recommend The Shooglers unreservedly to anyone hosting school dances, weddings or any kind of function. "
