"The Craigi Ceilidh band were excellent. Perfect for my 60th birthday party with all levels of experience and agility catered for. The caller and band made the whole event run smoothly and all the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the evening. Booking the band proved to be a very straightforward exercise with good communication before the event from both the band and Last Minute Musicians. Thank you"

"Everyone really enjoyed it" Thank you Mick and the Wraggle Taggle band for an excellent Saturday afternoon (22nd July 2023 Saturday Lauderdale House, Waterlow Park, , Highgate Hill, London N6 5HG). Everyone really enjoyed it. Shame we couldn't stay and join in but it would.have been too much for Paul. Sheer determination and steroids were the only thing that worked plus 3 guys to get him downstairs. Still we now have all the memories and photos to enjoy. All best wishes to you Janet Boorman 26th July 2023"

"We came across Gerry from web reviews on this site. Our vision was to find an accordonist who could accompany our pre-wedding groom arrival procession playing upbeat and beat tunes. Gerry was very enthusiastic and open to our requests and a pleasure to work with. The event and music was lovely so thankyou to Gerry and his trumpet player colleague who made the day very special.

"Hidden Coves played at my birthday party as guests arrived – we set them up on a terrace overlooking the sea at the Lyme Bay cafe bar in Lyme Regis. Their performance was perfect, and they created exactly the relaxed, fun atmosphere we were hoping for. Laurie and Asha are really talented musicians and put together a varied set reflecting the styles we'd suggested to them. Lots of our guests commented on how lovely it was to have them there, and I'm delighted we booked them. Would highly recommend!"

"My residents loved these guys so much. Music was great, singing absolutely fantastic. Really played to the crowd and got them singing along. So friendly afterwards too, having a chat with the residents. I've received so much great feedback about them. Can't wait to get them back again! "

"We booked these guys through the Son of my now wife for the evening of our wedding. Our only mistake was not booking them for longer on the evening. We should have had them all night. We had Unwritten Duo band. The vocals were awesome and capped a fantastic evening. A mixture of great soulful classics and some slightly more obscure tracks. I’d definitely travel to see these guys and the more intimate the venue the better. They could play big venues but are better in a small place where sing to you not at you. Fantastic set guys and thank you. Xx"

"Liam was asked to sing and play acoustically for my mums memorial at the "lost village of Dode" near Gravesend. As part of the set he was asked to learn and play two songs he had not played before, the songs were all folk ballads. I was slightly apprehensive about getting the right person for my mum's memorial but after my initial contact with Liam I knew he was the chap! On all communication he showed sensitivity and a strong will to play what we desired. On the day he played with great accomplishment and musicality. The tone, sound and timing were perfect. Many of the congression complimented me afterwards on the choice of musician. Thank you Liam for contributing to make such a special occasion that will be held in our memories."

"We recently asked It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band to play at our daughter's wedding. The band arrived on time and set up without any fuss. In fact we were hardly aware of their presence until they started to play. There were a number of English guests and Tom kindly went through the steps of the dances at the start. This was really helpful and encouraged everyone on to the floor. The music was great and played so well. We could not have asked for a better band. A big thanks to all that played for us you made our very special day really great."
