Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"I can't recommend The Northern Reel Collective highly enough! They entertained all the guests at our Christmas wedding with flair, enthusiasm and energy. I had so much fun spinning the evening away and was extremely impressed with the music choice, delivery and relaxed approach. Many happy guests and an on the spot first dance with the bridal party later - I wish I could do it all again!"

"I can’t recommend Jamie enough! He went above and beyond to ensure that we were able to keep his performance a surprise from my friend for her birthday and was great at communicating from the moment I first reached out to him. His performance was brilliant and thoroughly enjoyed by the guests at the party! If you’re thinking of hiring a Saxophonist, then Jamie is your guy!"

"Jonny performed at our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. He was flexible with his timings as some parts of the day went faster than expected. So many people asked where we found him and lots have said they will likely book him to perform when they get married. He played exactly what we wanted and adapted timings well to fit the ceremony. He also chose appropriate music to play for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Some of our guests are huge David Gray fans and said that he reminded them of him, so he played some David Gray songs for them and they were delighted. He was absolutely lovely to deal with and we highly recommend booking with him."

"The Confidential Band played at my Daughters wedding and being a Musician myself I did spend hours looking at the internet trying to find the right band. I can now save you that Time. Book the Confidential Band you cannot go wrong. A great bunch of people to deal with and highly talented Musicians with a very professional presentation of all the songs that will get your party dancing until the end of the evening. The Confidential Band are the Real Deal."

"We booked Debbie Boyd band at quite short notice for our wedding as we'd been let down by our previous band. A friend recommended them and we were not disappointed! From the first moment of contact Debbie's calm, professional manner put us straight at ease. Nothing was too much trouble! We chose our style of music and our first song and due to the late notice and the fact the song wasn't on the first Dance list, we thought our first dance couldn't be sang but would be played as there was no time for it to be rehearsed so we didn't even ask. Once again from the moment the band arrived we didn't need to worry about anything. The band eased in set up and we're ready to play without a hitch. And then the music started, brilliantly, amazingly perfect! For our first dance the band started playing and Debbie started singing and it was just as beautiful as it should have been and a fantastic surprise! Everyone from every generation was on the dance floor, the atmosphere was fantastic! I can't wait until we have the next big family event so we can book you all again Debbie! For me you are the perfect wedding band and I can't thank you enough for making our evening so very special."

" Beth S 9 days ago, Encore review 5 out of 5 Green Street Trio really set the tone for a fabulous 60th Birthday event that truly went off with a swing. From the first contact with the band, to the night itself, communication was easy, professional and friendly. Peter was kind and obliging, even offering to play two songs of my choice at the party. On the night itself as the sun set over the bay the band began to play, greeting my guests as they arrived with mellow, swing music, just perfect accompaniment to the setting and for the event. At one point they even played Happy Birthday for me. Green Street Trio were a great hit and I would have no hesitation in recommending them or booking them in the future. "

"I booked Jess, the Vintage Singer, for my husband's surprise 80th birthday party in Buckinghamshire. Throughout the whole process she kept in touch by phone and email and responded very quickly to any queries or requests that I had. On the day of the party there was a national rail strike, but she still arrived in good time for the party despite having had to take a much longer and more circuitous route to reach us from London. What a find she turned out to be! Not only is she strikingly beautiful, but she is very gracious and friendly and has the most amazing voice and an extensive and wide-ranging repertoire of songs. I booked her to perform three sets and I had wondered if that might have been too much, but I need not have worried ... no-one wanted her to leave and would have been happy if she had stayed on for another three! . She really was the icing on the surprise birthday cake and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. My husband had a wonderful time and I have received so many messages from friends and family, saying how much they enjoyed the party and that they all thought Jess was amazing."

"The third-year I've booked Ian in a row! Various guest testimonials: “An imaginative set to appeal to us all.” “His performance was magical. I’d love to hear him play again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends for wedding party's etc.” “I think that he really hit the right note with his selection of music to suit all ages! He is an excellent guitar player, with a great voice and a very pleasant self-deprecating manner.” “Ian entertained us with his interesting take on a range of thoughtfully chosen covers, all accompanied by his exceptional guitar playing. I hope I hear him again.” 14.07.18, Private Party Private Home, Surrey advice@tc-planning.co.uk "

"Tim played for my birthday party at The Tap and Grape and everyone had a great time, dancing and singing along. He was happy to take requests. I'd recommend Tim to anyone looking for a singer for a party"
