Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Prior to our wedding Neil contacted us to see what type of performance we wanted, songs we wanted to be included (and excluded), and he learned a song for our first dance that wasn’t in his repertoire. On the day, he arrived in good time to set up and prepare for his performance. At one point during the time he was setting up the hotel wedding coordinator thought she was listening to a new version of a song on disc only to discover Neil was doing the vocal for his sound check! When it came to his performance, we can only say it was superb. Neil performed two 45 minute sets and played music before, between and after his sets. We were quite blown away with the quality of his performance, vocal ability and the clarity of his sound system. His performances were the perfect end to our special day and we couldn’t have wished for more. We’d like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to Neil for the wonderful part he played on our Wedding Day. We can’t praise him highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone. To put it simply, this guy is a star and we are just looking for an excuse to book him again....!"

"We are so happy that we asked Emily to play at our outdoor Tipi wedding last weekend. Emily kindly played whilst our guests arrived and during our arrival drinks but most memorably for us she did an absolutely perfect job of playing whilst I walked down the isle and during our exit down the isle. She created such a special and emotional atmosphere which helped to make our ceremony perfect and so unique for us. Not only that but she had absolutely no hesitation in offering to learn some of the songs that we really wanted to be played which she hadn’t done before. It simply wouldn’t have been the same and certainly not as magical if she had not been part of it. Thank you so much Emily! X"

"Rafael Lopez literally lit up my wife's 40th birthday. I shared my choiced songs with him and he came through. He is very warm, polite, professional and knows his job so well. His performance was the high point of the day. I would recommend highly to those that loves good things. I hope to engage him again and again in the FUTURE"

"Max was absolutely brilliant! He joined our local village day party and brought it to life with his performance. You could see people in the streets dancing along which is exactly what we wanted. We would definitely book Max again if we need another musician next year"

"I would highly recommend Robin’s services for your wedding or function. I have had the pleasure of hearing Robin and he is a talented bagpiper. His kind and helpful manner and attention to detail would enable him to provide a straightforward reliable service."

"Gareth accompanied me at 24 hours' notice when my accompanist dropped out. With only 30mins' rehearsal he reassured me and gave me confidence to do the exam when I nearly pulled out His musicianship is outstanding and he thoroughly understood the pieces and played superbly I achieved a distinction when I didn't think I was going to pass He is also a truly lovely guy and it is totally down to him that I have decided to continue. An utterly INSPIRATUONAL and amazing musician Book Gareth if you can x"

"Hi Ben, They were absolutely amazing, so many people approached me to comment on how good they were and to ask for the band’s name! Their rendition of the Harry Potter theme tune upon entrance made it spectacular and it was very sweet of them to provide the Harry Potter soundtrack music afterwards. Thank you again for being so accommodating and I’m so glad I chose The Blue Suede Shoes for my party - all the best to you and the band also! Kind regards, Zoe"

"Blue Jewel played at our wedding two weeks ago and they were absolutely fantastic. They were the highlight of the wedding party for us and for many of the wedding guests. Lots of people joined in with the energetic music. Clear instructions for the dances made it easy for everyone to join in. Apart from how fun the celeidh itself was, the thing that we appreciated most of all about Blue Jewel - and the thing that stands out about them - is that it was so easy and stress-free to organise. A couple of emails prior to the wedding to confirm timings and cost (which was very reasonable), and then they turned up on time, were very polite and flexible about us running late with the rest of the wedding, played brilliant music and got everyone up dancing. There was no fuss or stress whatsoever. Absolutely brilliant. We would recommend Blue Jewel to anyone. "
