Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"It was a pleasure to have Ryan play at The City Wine Show. Ryan played his own choice of songs which gave a great atmosphere to our event, I highly recommend him!"

"Above and beyond is what you get from Eccentric Pony! The dance floor was packed all night when they were playing and when Jimmy took our very very long playlist and turned it into something that had people on their feet singing and dancing in-between sets. Our day fell pretty behind schedule and they handled it perfectly switching from 3 shorter sets to 2 longer ones with no fuss. As a wedding present I asked if they could learn one of my husband's original songs. Jimmy was brilliant taking an acoustic version and turning it into a pop punk bop! He even asked for a digital copy so that he wouldn't give the game away by streaming it too many times on Spotify. On the night it was perfect and they let Alistair jump up and sing it with them. Not only that but a few days after the wedding we got an email with a full band recording for us to keep! We could not recommend Eccentric Pony enough"

"We first met Chris when he played for us at our pandemic wedding in June. We found an advertisement for Chris online and knew from the first phone call that we wanted him to be a part of our big day. Chris Tavener was professional, courteous and well organised. He was happy to comply with venue rules and regulations and nothing was too much trouble for him. As an events organiser, I have worked with many different suppliers and the good ones can be hard to find! Chris Tavener is a rare find because he is brilliant! His customer service was second to none. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and would definitely use him again at future events. Chris was always super quick to respond and problem solve. If we had any issues in advance of the wedding and on the day itself he was quick to sort them and relieve us of that headache. He puts himself into your shoes and does his utmost to make the day as special as he can for you. Although we booked Chris last minute because we weren’t sure if the wedding would go ahead due to covid, we needn’t have worried. A tour request, Chris took on the role as toast master and coordinated everything perfectly on the day. He liaised with bar staff to announce our arrival and get things ready and he announced our speeches at the reception. When organising a wedding, you need the best people in your team to make the day (and the run up!!) as stress free as possible. When it comes to entertainment - Chris is that person.  We were delighted that he played for us. He read the audience well and played a great selection of songs to cater for all age groups. He created a fantastic atmosphere and even played a little longer into the night when he knew our guests didn’t want him to go home! We can’t thank Chris enough for how special he made our big day! Thank You!"

"James and the guys were just incredible. We invited our friends to a secret wedding (disguised as a christening) as we wanted an informal party atmosphere and from the very first chat, James grasped what we were wanting and produced an amazing Neo Soul evening starting with jazz and working through to funk classics. We really couldn't have asked for more. The band, the music, the dj sets, the whole thing was just brilliant and we want to do it all again!"

"Thank you Ollie for your wonderful performance at our wedding in Mayfair. You really got the party going at the right times and we really appreciate that you went to the additional trouble of learning a couple of Irish songs. Your repertoire was on point. Thank you once again xx "

"We hired Mariachi Tequila for our Birthday surprise party and we could not be happer. They provided us with an excellent show, great variety of songs, they dressed very nicely as we requested. There is no better band & more flexible Group in terms of time required, songs and type of music than Mariachi Tequiila. I recommend it 100%"

"The icing on top of our Christmas Party cake – simply excellent!!! We booked Signal Glow for our recent work’s Christmas Party, and they did not disappoint! Pre-event communication was excellent, and they were highly organised and professional throughout. The set up looked fantastic, and the audio was crisp throughout their performances, let alone to mention how excellent they sounded and the wide variety of songs they sang throughout both sets. The mix of modern, classic and Christmas music they sang got everyone up on the dancefloor – something which isn’t always easy with a corporate function! They played seamlessly and interactions with the partygoers were a lovely touch. A smooth breakdown and timely departure when lights went up only solidified how good these guys were. 10/10 recommend for any function; they can do it all!"

"Christina performed at our wedding on the 16th June. She sang my wife down the isle which was amazing and she also performed for our guests during the reception. She is super talented and has a amazing voice. A lot of our guest commented on how good she was. A perfect addition to our amazing day. Thank you Christina and we look forward to seeing you again. "

"I just wanted to formally thank you again for performing for Claremont at our Christmas Craft Fair. You are always so popular and it’s a real treat to have you and your harp here! I hope you enjoying playing for us as much as we enjoy hearing you. The members always comment on how beautiful your playing is and we think it is lovely to have harp music throughout the fair – it makes it more special!"

"Celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary was a great excuse for a party. We wanted a big party with our nearest and dearest to thank them for thier support after our son overcome a bone marrow transplant last year. Welcoming people into our home was so important as we'd spent so much time in hospital, we wanted it to be here. As a couple who love festivals, we wanted to theme it on that, along with my love of autumn, pumpkin and disco ball vibes. We hired Mick as the Headliner, we knew he'd get the party going - and that he did. Professional, personable, very good at reading the room and bringing those good time vibes. If you're looking for a musician who does that, don't look no further. Thank you for being such a memorable part of our day Mick. A day we'll treasure forever! Thank you 😊"

"What a fantastic time my guests and I had last night! The Black Velvet Band guys certainly know how to get a party going and my guests and I responded in the appropriate manner. It was the BEST party I have ever been to – and several guests asked if we can have another ceilidh soon."

"Danny performed at my husband Geoff's 60th birthday party on January 4th 2020 at the Wynnstay hotel in Oswestry. He was absolutely brilliant. As it was a lunch followed by an afternoon party the songs Danny sang whilst playing her guitar fit in perfectly. Such a talented and polite young man. He can sing anything and I can't recommend him enough. Lots of lovely comments and praise from all my family and friends for Danny. Thanks Danny."

"Thank you for coming along to Lauren's birthday bash in Ludlow and welcoming all the family with your playing. It was a lovely surprise for her and all the others, to be greeted by the sound of the bagpipes and a well-dressed piper. With the compact acoustics of the venue, playing just two pieces was perfect. The little girl of six, who is sensitive to any kind of loud sound, also enjoyed seeing a piper welcoming everyone. Knowing that you do travel, I will certainly be very happy to recommend you to anyone looking for a musician to entertain at an event. I hope our paths will cross again. With Very Best Wishes, Len"
