Review Centre: Vintage Bands

"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

"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!"

"We just wanted to say big thank you for amazing performance the band has done which made our Big Day even more special. The band was fantastic, playing great gypsy jazz songs that everyone enjoyed and we had even our dance to "Sing sing sing", which was amazing. You fitted so well to the ambient of Pembroke Lodge and I would definitely recommend you to any couple who needs some vintage elegant touch to their Wedding Reception."

"I have know Mark personally for many years and have only ever known him to put 100% in to every aspect of his music career so when my wife and I started to plan our big day, I knew that his passion and skill would bring something really special and unique to the day.We had The Swing Gents trio perform at our wedding and the guys were fantastic! Really set the mood for the afternoon whilst we were having the photos taken. The set list that Mark put together was perfect and really encompassed the feel of the day.Would highly recommend Mark and The Swing Gents for any event."

"I first got to see Ruby on Facebook during our lockdown in 2020. She came out into the street to keep her friends & neighbours going and entertained. And I started following her on Facebook. And she kept me going also through the sad & bad times. Since then got to meet the lovely Ruby and have become really good friends. Ruby put a great charity night on 26th March 2022 At the Sedgemere Club in Yardley with a few of her other friends and then I arranged our queens platinum jubilee evening. Which Ruby & another friend Neil tilsley ( the good fella performed again at the Sedgemere Club, on 4th June 2022 yet again was a fab evening. Ruby & her friend Paul “Shakey” Shakespeare are doing our Sedgemere Club Yardley on Christmas afternoon 11th December. I just know it’s going to be a great afternoon. We will be raising money towards our Sedgemere Special Needs Group. To keep the funds going for a disco once a month also a day trip out in the summer. A Halloween & Xmas party xx "

"Jelly Roll Jazz came all the way to Devon for our belated wedding reception celebrations and they were fantastic! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music (as did we) and we couldnt imagine a more perfect performance than the one done by the band. The guys were very kind and friendly and their performance was very characteristic visually (not just musically). Thanks so much again guys it was fantastic!"

"Miriam's performances are very popular with our residents. Miriam is always very meticulous in her planning asking for suggestions and remembering individual resident's preferences. Props and lyrics are supplied which results in a polished presentation. Miriam's performances are interactive and inclusive, her musicality and talent are exceptional. We have enjoyed Xmas entertainment as well as 'last night of the proms' and Valentines is in the diary for next year already. We would recommend Miriam wholeheartedly and are happy to be contacted."
