Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"It was a pleasure to have DJ Karl Joseph play on our wedding day in the evening. He was super polite, really warm personality and was very professional. I wanted a certain tailored playlist of music & genres, which he accommodated fantastic and played everything we wanted to hear. He even took pictures of the night from his photo booth. His equipment looked so good, with the lights & booth. Highly recommend. "

"I just wanted to send a BIG thank you to you and the band for all of your amazing efforts on Friday!!! The guests were honestly so blown away with the party and we’ve already had so many ‘thank you’ s’ today, all expressing how amazed they were with it all and how much they loved you guys. Here is just a few of the comments we have received so far… The band were just the icing on top of the cake! They were amazing! I loved how they weren’t on a stage, and really involved the audience. Please can you send me the name of them so I have hit in my mind to recommend. The band were brilliant and I loved how they played such a wide range of music to suit everyone. It has to be the best event I have been to with regards to the theme running through the whole evening and the attention to detail was fantastic. We enjoyed it all, from the venue, the superb food, brilliant band and of course great hosts! Amy and I wanted to thank you all for a truly magical, enchanting evening last night – we had a fantastic time ! We especially loved your tree people and the band – they were amazing. It is so lovely working with you all, we all really appreciate your amazing work and the relationship we have."

"George came to our Christmas party at our home and played sing-a-long carols and Christmas songs. It was amazing! Everyone had the best time singing and George really got everyone in the Christmas party spirit. George was so kind in helping prep for the party with song order and lyrics, he also set up earlier in the day which was great. Everyone at the party was asking for George’s details, even the neighbours who could hear the wonderful piano playing. Highly recommend and we’ll be getting George back next year to do it all again.

"I hired Blue Jewel Ceilidh band to play for my 60th birthday party at my local village hall. I had never heard them play before but going on previous recommendations I felt certain they would be okay. How right I was! Well, if fact they were more than okay - they were bandtastic! Their playing is brilliant and they created a fantastic atmosphere. Steve made sure he brought me and my husband and sons right into the swing of things, mentioning us by name whenever he could and he certainly made it feel like "my" party and not just any old party they might be playing at. There was quite a mix of ages, but everyone joined in with the dancing, (yes, even my non-dancing- unless-he's-had-a-few-pints, husband!!). Steve and his colleague were excellent callers and made the dances very easy and great fun. We are still laughing and talking about what a wonderful evening it was. I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Jewel. They will make your party go with a swing! "

"From Ben's first contact three weeks before the date to the day itself, we couldn't have been happier with our decision to book The Blue Suede Shoes. They were professional, prompt, polite, very friendly and above all played great music! They set the tone perfectly for the laid back, fun evening we'd hoped for. Many of our guests commented how good the band was. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"I would highly recommend It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band to anyone who wants to have a first class ceilidh experience! I use them evey year for our French exchange ceilidh and everyone loves their music; children, teenagers and parents alike! They explain the dances clearly so even our French visitors can take part and they play with such enthusiasm that the dance floor is never empty. They are reliable, professional and full of fun, so our ceilidh is always the highlight of our exchange week. Thank you guys - you do a fantastic job!"

"Vernon was amazing! He has a seductive tone and offered a professional service. He made a huge impact and was approached by many of my guests that are now booking him for their events. I would recommend Vernon without hesitation and promise you he will add value to your event/party. I am beyond satisfied! "

"We had absolute play our recent wedding at Northbrook Park and they were incredible! The dance floor was full from start to finish, with the band bringing so much energy to the evening. We requested a number of songs from their repertoire, which they played all of, and we left the remaining time for them to play what worked with the crowd on the night - We had an Irish twist to our wedding, and the band were the perfect group who delivered brilliantly! We had multiple guests asking who the band were and complimenting them for really making the evening what it was. We had an amazing day, and a brilliant evening, helped made possible by Absolute. We would thoroughly recommend anyone considering getting a band to book with absolute! Heidi & Conor, Wedding at Northbrook Park – 6th September 2024"
