"You may recall a desolate band of misfits in Tim Burton’s 'Nightmare Before Chirstmas' that popped up every now and then with musical interludes of damp and haunting melodies that were, in their own way, quite captivating. Well The Skeleton Crew have a very similar allure; that is intriguing violins and erratic accordions, both utterly besmirched with wonderfully gloomy undertones and lingering vocals."

"The band was excellent from start to finish. Excellent prompt communication, and helpful advice regarding the venue and how best to utilise the space. Finally they were not only a great band but they brought the dancing to life with their calling and help with the dances."

"We booked Becky for our big joint 60th party. Our family all love folk, blues and soul music and Becky was just wonderful - absolutely made our evening. Her voice is pure and subtle and beautiful. She used guitar and violin, using looping to create a really complete sound - very professional and skilled. Her interpretations of songs we know and love very much were wonderful. She is extraordinarily versatile and I really think everyone at the party felt there was a song that was special to them. Can't recommend Becky highly enough."

"We hired It's No' Reel for our English/Scottish wedding and they had guests of all ages up on the dance floor immediately. We were inundated with well-deserved compliments on our choice of band all night and our wedding was fantastically fun and family friendly thanks to them. The guys are all unbelievably talented musicians and it is testament to their skill that a group of three individuals could keep 100 adults and 20 children entertained for a whole evening. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any event - they made our day! There were a couple of things on the day that completely outshone our expectations and these guys were one of them. What a fun night of dancing!"

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for playing so brilliantly at the event on Saturday. There has been lots of positive feedback from the event, and we really hope that you will be able to play for us again next year. Thank you especially for managing to get through the programme in such limited time, to make the evening stress free for all of us! "

"I just wanted to thank you and the guys for their work last Thursday. They were awesome and we loved them. We're also really pleased we picked Klaus as the replacement singer as his style and personality were exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. We had lots of great feedback from guests about the band as a whole and for Klaus's solo set. If you ever need a testimonial for the band or Klaus, don't hesitate to let me know. Also, great work on our song for the first dance, as I know it was a rarity and the music was very hard to find. "

"Bryan and I wanted to pass on our grateful thanks for your terrific entertainment at our recent wedding. Your band was incredibly accomplished and we were delighted that you were able to take on the Argentine Tango piece by Canaro that we had specially requested as our first dance , with absolute gusto. You absolutely made our day and had the whole party dancing until we could barely stand . Well done to you all and many thanks . I can’t recommend you highly enough ."

"Most of all, we wanted to let you know that we loved the band and their music...they were just as good as I'd hoped they would be and they were very easy and pleasant company. Those that did hear and experience the music did love it and thought it added a lovely vibe to the party. Thankyou to Last Minute Music also for your excellent customer service and very smart booking procedure through the website. You've been so easy to communicate with, both through the messages via email and the website but also by phone and it's actually been a really stress-free part of organising a party that meant a lot to us. You've been so helpful and friendly, it felt like a breath of fresh air doing business with you. We'd highly recommend you to any friends or family we know who need some music for an event. Would you please let the band know we would also do the same for them. They were great! We wish you continued success with the business which enables live music to survive and thrive ..something we all need in our lives. "
