"We booked Jamie for our small wedding of 30 initially to break our day/evening up and honestly did not contemplate the effect this would have on our wedding! We really could not have asked for anything more from Jamie! He was fantastic, he really got the crowd going and although we had a small wedding, you wouldn't have known, every single person in the room was up, dancing and singing. It was a complete game changer and every single person at our wedding has mentioned how amazing Jamie was. Given all the restrictions with COVID, it really would have been a completely different wedding, not for the better, had we chosen any other artist or not had one at all and we really cannot thank Jamie enough for the part he played in our day! We would recommend him 1000 times over!"

"The Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio helped make our event go smoothly with great communication and punctual arrival. The music was well performed and great fun. The caller did a fantastic job of putting people at ease an encouraging lots of dancing and everyone had a great time. At our working event the next day, many attributed the positive mood and energy to the ceilidh the night before, so maybe it is the secret to successful strategy seminars?!"

"I recently booked a duo from the band to play at my mum’s wedding in Bolton. They were brilliant. I would recommend this group to anyone who wishes to make their wedding a special event and really liven up the evening. Don’t bother with a DJ, what a waste of money. There were only 40 people at the evening reception, but Shamus and Danny really livened up the group and got them up singing and dancing. I only wish I had another event up and coming, so I could book them again."

"Totally Blown Away……. We had arranged a small celebration in a local village hall for our friends and family and the venue itself was tiny. We looked around to try and find a band to entertain our guests, the majority of which were at the older end of the spectrum. We spent weeks and weeks searching without success and almost changed our plans but eventually came across Kelly & Graham. Having looked at their videos we were amazed how versatile they were but given the fact they were based over 200 miles away we were resigned to the fact they probably wouldn’t travel so far for a one off event. We needn’t have worried, Kelly put us at ease straight away and accepted the booking. She is a great communicator and kept us totally up to speed throughout the process. We were pretty stressed out with co-ordinating the whole event but she promised that we did not have to worry about the music and she was right. They arrived early and set up their equipment and mingled with our guests. We had selected the music to perform from their vast songbook and also added a couple of songs that meant a lot to us. They were brilliant. The night went with a bang. Everyone who came that evening has spoken to us to say how good they were. Kelly’s voice is amazing and Grahams guitar playing is fantastic. If you need a band to entertain your guests no matter how big or small the party, then you need to book these two, you will not be disappointed "

"What a superb band for our wedding party - the guys were lovely, really friendly and helpful and got everyone involved and having the time of their lives! A ceilidh is such fun and a great way to ensure *all* your guests are involved in the celebrations - there were smiles on the faces of everyone dancing, and everyone watching! I cannot recommend this highly enough - absolutely delightful, highly professional, and a total pleasure to work with to make sure we had an unforgettable evening"

"From start to finish I found Last minute musicians very professional and very fast with answers to queries. I had my wedding on 21/09 and The lost performed for us, all of us at the event were highly impressed with the quality of their performance and they very kindly learnt a song for us for our first dance. Additionally they were always punctual in responding to all questions and on the day did everything the could do to make their role seamless and stress free for our day. I can not recommend these lads enough."

"We welcomed back Black Velvet Band Irish Trio for St Patrick's Day. They were amazing and really created a great atmosphere for the afternoon with all of our customers singing and joining in. If you want that authentic Irish sound I would definitely recommend this band and will definitely be having them back again! "

"It is with great pleasure I write the following few words in support of Ruby Ann. I have known Ruby now for several years, I have come to realise her greatest joy is to bring happiness to others and through her wonderful voice and special entertaining qualities she achieves just that!! I understand from Ruby the whole of her life she has had a deep feeling of dedication to keep alive the great memory of Violette Szabo GC. It is through Violette that we met and Ruby has vowed into the future to help both of us in any way possible. May God bless her for that."

"I just wanted to drop you a note to say how brilliant Dermot and Co. were on Saturday. Everyone had a fantastic time and even those who couldn't dance were laughing and joining in by clapping and cheering. It really was a great night and we have had alot of great feedback. In the next couple of months I am going to start work on next years diary (I need to forward plan a bit more next time!) and I will definitely be giving you a call to book Dermot again."

"Ruby sang at our VE Day event at Streetly Community Library and she was simply fantastic. She was engaging, entertaining and professional, appealing to all age groups. The mix of music provided was just right – we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Ruby, we’d love to have you back. "

"Just wanted to thank the Black Velvet Band for a really great evening last Saturday. They were excellent musicians and the caller was superb (very patient with the Danish contingent who took some time to get the hang of the instructions!) What I particularly appreciate is how considerate and adaptable the band was regarding my wishes. I had lovely time and have had a lot of positive comments from my guests."
