"I booked Below the Border for my wedding evening party at a cricket club in Surrey. We wanted a 70s covers band because that was the time of our University days and the type of music we knew would appeal to our guests. Below the Border are simply sensational musicians and very good singers. They also had a new female harmony singer who was excellent. The band were extremely professional and courteous and I thoroughly recommend them. They got everybody up dancing and even learnt one of our favourite T-Rex songs especially for our party."

Janice thank you so much for your kind review. As I said in my recent email I know you originally wrote us a review whilst on your honeymoon in Italy and left it with the agency through whom you booked us; but thank you for copying it to Last Minute Musicians as requested, that’s really kind of you to take the time. We get more offers to appear at people’s parties and weddings through this agency than anywhere else so we appreciate your response. Kind regards Noel Below the Border

"Dear Claudio, I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful music you entertained us with on Saturday evening. It was perfect in every way! Everyone loved it - you really did make our night and we will have very fond memories of our party for many years to come, thanks to you. Despite the weather, you kept our spirits high and took us all over the world with your seemingly infinite repertoire. Giles has played in a band for years and so there were several musicians present but it is fair to say that they were all completely enthralled and amazed by your talents and the range of music that you had at your fingertips.

"I would like to thank you so much for playing at our Battle of Britain Dining-In Night. Your contribution was greatly appreciated and I have received numerous positive comments following your performance last night. Debon Swing Dance Band captured the mood of the evening perfectly; the selection of music was ideal and, on a personal note, the RAF March as the Top Table left was the icing on the cake. "

"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. "

"I have been inundated with thanks this morning for organising such a wonderful band for our party last Saturday night so I thought it only right that I pass these thanks on to you and SoulNfunk. Everyone had a thoroughly good evening and we were very impressed with you all. Can you please pass our thanks on to all your guys but the singer has had a special mention, he was fantastic!"

"Dear Sarah-Jane and Adam We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your wonderful performance at our wedding. Sarah-Jane, you sang beautifully (as always!) and Adam was superb too. You both really helped to make our day really special and it certainly wouldn’t have been the same without you. I will always remember hearing you rehearse before the ceremony while I was getting ready, it made me feel all warm inside! So thank you so much and all the very best wishes Faye and Phil "

"Swing Mode Vintage absolutely made our day: they were absolutely the perfect evening entertainment for our wedding! The music was really really cool, they had people up and dancing and just really brought a great atmosphere with them. It was fantastic. The band were all really kind and well organised; there was zero stress & zero faff. They got everything set up in good time including background music between the two sets. They took a special request for our first dance and it was really really wonderful. Overall we were just thrilled with the music: it was really really cool stuff - modern and funky, but most important just great fun!"

"We hired The BV’s for a VIP launch of a new development. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, despite having a really tough crowd. The song selection was absolutely spot on for the event and we had lots of positive feedback from everyone who was at the event. I’d have no qualms in recommending the band again – fantastic!"
