Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"This July I had the joy of collaborating with Lewis Kingsley Peart on a recital of arias and songs at The Swiss Church, Covent Garden. The creative process with Lewis was a dream, and he is not only an incredibly skilled pianist but an open, aware, and gifted collaborator, too. The programme was heavy with quite challenging contemporary repertoire which he was able to learn under huge time constraints (he came to my rescue when I lost my pianist just a month before the recital!). He interpreted the Rorem and the Previn with as much ease and effortlessness as the Strauss and Weber. The Swiss Church is a very particular space to play in because of the immense reverberation, but Lewis took this in complete stride and adjusted each piece to fit the context of our performance space so sensitively. Lewis is professional, well prepared, calm, and efficient. He is an excellent communicator, musically and otherwise! He has a true gift, and though I did not know Lewis before this, I greatly look forward to working with him again in future!"

"SaxSmith was truly wonderful. A gentleman in himself and a splendid saxophonist. I genuinely recommend him as a performer - he even made an effort to dress in the 1920’s theme I had set. Thank you! :)"

"I love live music and was determined to find a fabulous band for my party. I found the best with Wired! The contact and discussion from booking right up to the day of the party was reassuring and confirmed I’d made the right choice. They’re professional, thorough, communicative and Sue’s voice!…wow!! Countless guests commented on the night as to how brilliant the band were and particularly how fabulous Sue’s voice is! If you’re looking on their page and considering booking them, do it! Quickly, before someone else beats you to it! Can’t recommend them highly enough and if I’m still up to party planning in 10 year's time, they’ll be playing at my 70th too."

"Spud is simply the best! Such a great guy and an amazing, versatile, authentic and truly gifted piper! He brings such energy and great vibes to audiences of all sizes. His costume is brilliant too! Invited him to perform for a special charity concert for a live TV audience of millions and he absolutely made the night! Look no further than Spud the Piper! "

"Booked Soul Static for our engagement party and they were brilliant from start to finish. Polite, talented and down to earth group of lads, with a wide range of music for whatever type of vibe you’re after, and we would highly recommend them. Looking forward to catching them again soon at one of their gigs! Cheers guys."

"Matt & Co. provided the live music for our 50th Wedding Anniversary party. They were excellent - as shown by the fact that the dancefloor was full from the first song to the last. There were dancers from 3 years of age to 80 and everyone had a fantastic time. Well done The Rockpins - Please play on!"
