Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"I booked Goldworth Gerry for my 70th birthday celebrations and they made the party night with their playlist options and great musical ability. We danced the night away and everyone said how good the band was - even those who weren’t as familiar with the indi/rock music. Thank you Martin and Stuart for the easy, no fuss management of the event and great music. Loved it and highly recommend you."

"We hired Groove Allstars for our wedding in October last year and could not recommend the band enough. After watching their showreel and seeing their setlist, we knew straight away that we wanted to have them as our entertainment. Everyone loved dancing the night away and we keep hearing compliments on how good they were. Hollie & Michael, Wedding at Wylam Brewery, 25th October 2024 "

"Matt delighted our wedding guests with his truly adaptable style; classic hymns during the service itself, iconic film soundtrack for the procession out of church - and a very helpful addition to any groom's speech; ten 1980s TV soundtracks seamlessly woven into improvisation whilst we awaited the arrival of the (very lovely) bride! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"Booked the band for my 40th birthday party. They made contact with me before the event to discuss the music I liked and sent me playlist examples. On the evening they were perfect, played a good mix and had everyone dancing. Would recommend"

"Really entertaining guy. Amazing range of songs, covering all ages. Asked us to let us know a few of our favourites prior, he learnt them, then delivered not only vocally but with his guitar, rather than a backing track. Great live singer. You will not be disappointed. "

"We had Nigel play at our wedding blessing (At Gayhurst Manor). We really wanted to have a piano to accompany our friend who is a violinist during the church service. Nigel went above and beyond to meet regularly with the violinist prior to the day to practise and he was just amazing on the day. He then played during our sit down meal and was extremely well received by all our guests. We are so grateful for the efforts Nigel put in to make our wedding blessing so special and would definitely recommend Nigel to anybody who is looking for a fantastic pianist who will do everything he can to fit your needs."

"We had the pleasure of meeting and enjoying the incredible talent of this outstanding entertainer during our 16-day cruise in 2025 aboard the Coral Princess. Every evening after the main Princess show, we made it a point to go to the piano bar to see him perform. It quickly became the highlight of our nights on board. His talent, energy, and ability to connect with the audience are truly exceptional. What impressed us the most was his extraordinary musical repertoire. During the entire duration of the cruise, he never once repeated the same song. In all our years of cruising — more than 25 cruises — we had never experienced anything like it. His performances were always fresh, engaging, and filled with enthusiasm, humor, and remarkable musical skill. Beyond his talent as a pianist and singer, he has a natural gift for entertaining people and creating a lively, joyful atmosphere where everyone feels involved and part of the show. We were truly saddened to learn that he will no longer be performing on cruise ships. In fact, we would have gladly booked another cruise — regardless of the destination — just to experience his performances again. However, while this may be a loss for cruise audiences, it will certainly be a great gain for the venues and audiences fortunate enough to welcome him. I can confidently say that any audience will be delighted by his presence, talent, and charisma. We highly and enthusiastically recommend him to any venue looking for a truly exceptional entertainer. Your clients will undoubtedly be thrilled to discover such a talented performer in your program. Sincerely, Claude Paradis (The Coral Princess)"

"Neil is a consummate professional. He has a fabulous voice, is a great entertainer, and a thoroughly lovely guy. He completely put my mind at rest and I felt confident in leaving everything to him. It is not an easy crowd to please but Neil certainly did. Everyone was amazed at his superb voice and performance. We all had a wonderful evening. Thank you, thank you!!"
