Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"When planning our wedding my husband Ben and I were looking for a small band to play outdoors for our guests in the evening, our after party was a little unusual due to it being in my Mum's garden with limited space and access to power we were unsure that having a band would even be possible. All our fears were put to rest as soon as we found The Hot Hats, Alfie assured us that it wouldn't be a problem at all and they would work around the venue with us. The whole process of working with Alfie was a total pleasure, from first contact via email to partying with us in the evening. The music was fantastic all of my guests commented on how brilliant the band were and were devastated when the set had to end! We can't thank Alfie and his team enough for the splendid job they did, we are already looking for an excuse to book them again! Amy & Ben Williams"

"A great guy. He got the party going, and with classic swing songs there was something for everyone...even my granny, who tore up the dancefloor!"

"Sue is a fabulous addition to any event! I was photographing a wedding recently, and not only was she there all day, she was engaging with the kids, blending in with the guests and create a brilliant party atmosphere in the evening! Everyone loved her! "

"I've had the tremendous good fortune to have been asked to call ceilidh dances with Kellys on numerous occasions. It's never difficult to get people up on the dance floor once Helen kicks off on the accordion, and when Steve's driving rhythm guitar comes in, coupled with Tony's pounding bodhran, the only 'problem' is getting people to sit down and have a breather between dances! And when you get Simon and John bumping it up to a 5-piece with fiddle and banjo (plus various pipes and whistles) well, all I can say is "Hold on to your socks!""

"Thank you for an absorbing concert which really gripped the imagination of your listeners. There were many highly appreciative comments on your repertoire, and the way your well integrated playing drew in the audience. The final selection from Irving Berlin really 'hit the spot'."

"Everything went well and I would like to give a testimonial for Alan. He was very popular! Alan gave just the kind of unintrusive but interesting and entertaining background music that we wanted for our wedding day. An excellent selection of contemporary and classical songs was provided before the day (all wedding related in some way!) and we had no problem choosing 2 hours worth of material, including special songs for the brides entrance and signing of the register. Alan is an exceptional classical guitarist, and proved very easy to work with before the ceremony - and many positive comments were received from guests during and after ceremony - I'd highly recommend him.

"Absolutely fantastic! If you’re going to do anything for your wedding then this should be it! It was the best decision we made and it had such an amazing impact on the day. Walking down the isle is such a special moment and Nigel just topped it off, he made sure the right part of the song was played at the right time and it was just beautiful! Nigel played for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, I loved that he was there for all three of these moments because it just continued to create an amazing atmosphere! He also took requests from our guests, which they loved! Nigel played so many amazing songs that we all loved and we can’t thank him enough for making our day even more special! He even took short videos of moments throughout the day which he shared with us, moments that we would never be able to capture ourselves so we appreciated this so much!! 1000% recommend! "

"We booked the Pop Pickers for our Dad's 80th birthday party and they were brilliant! All the songs played from the 50s, 60s & 70s were known by all and got a lot of people up dancing. Communication with Ian was great before the event, and we would thoroughly recommend."

"We hired Will to play at our wedding, his pre-wedding communication was great, his time keeping excellent, he’s really obliging and easy to talk to. He has a wide ranging repertoire but if there is a specific song you like he is happy to learn it and play it for you. We asked Will to play background music for us as our guests wanted to catch-up and talk without shouting above the music. He was really good and judged the mood well, turning it up a little later on when people wanted to dance. Thanks Will you were great. "

"Just wanted to extend our thanks to you both again. A perfect addition to our day and we couldn’t be happier. Hope you enjoyed yourselves and we name dropped ‘Dinner Jazz Duo’ as much as we possibly could during the day, as people were asking!"
