Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"I can't thank Soul75 enough! They made our wedding day so special and memorable. From the day I booked Soul75, Richard was frequently in touch and very attentive to our needs. Their incredible talent and entertaining way of interacting with guests meant we had a crowded dancefloor from start to finish! It was lovely seeing some of our usually more reluctant dancers up on the floor having a great time. The band members were very friendly and happily chatted with guests during the break. We had so many wonderful comments from our guests - some were even emailing enquiries to them during the intermission! Can't recommend enough!"

"As Toastmaster/Master of Ceremonies I had the pleasure to work with Sarah at a wedding on Friday last at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire – she is a real talent a naturally gifted pianist with a wide ranging repertoire and I heard many of the wedding guests making complimentary remarks about her music. Sara set the atmosphere beautifully playing during the wedding breakfast, in addition I can say that she is a true professional and so well organised in her pre wedding set up I would definitely recommend her to my clients.

"The musicians were husband and wife and they were professional, excellent players, very pleasant and gave an excellent selection of tunes They were very well received by guests and the evening could not have been better. I believe they would receive my Evie’s from anyone in attendance. Well done to both performers."

"Rhianwen was an absolute delight and helped set the mood perfectly with her music. It was very important to me to have the harp as part of our day and she certainly delivered and took note of my special requests. Her music certainly added to the magic of our wonderful day."

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."

"Our expectations were far exceeded with Amplified and cannot recommend them highly enough. They fully engaged with our guests and ensured the dance floor was filled for the whole evening. Even the hotel said that they were the best wedding band they had had there. We would have loved them to play on late into the early hours but the hotel restrictions meant they couldn't. Highly recommended."

"Absolutely amazing band who played at our 25th wedding anniversary. All communication was extremely easy and Sam was great to deal with. The music was exactly what we wanted and all our guests commented on what a great band they are. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a great band. Thank you so much for making our night. Rosemary & Simon"
