Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Elise sang at a work event I put together. Her singing was beautiful and the process was seamless. I was struggling to think of appropriate songs and, during the consultation, she talked me through a variety of styles and genres to narrow down a song that was perfect for my event. Her knowledge on song choices was impressive and I felt confident that we had chosen well. Her professional yet friendly approach meant that I felt completely at ease and I was reassuring to know that once the decisions had been made, I could leave all the detail to her. She sang so beautifully on the day and I received so many comments about what a brilliant singer she was. I have already recommended her to a friend who also received the same wonderful feedback. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her again - there’s nothing she cannot sing!"

"Lizzy played at our son’s wedding a few days ago and it was absolutely fabulous. Hearing the harp music whilst waiting for the bride and again as the ceremony concluded added a real elegant touch to the day. My son and new wife particularly liked it when Lizzy played their special song as the ceremony was coming to a close. A special mention to the fact that we had to postpone the wedding by a whole year due to Covid restrictions but everything ran smoothly despite that. We would definitely recommend Lizzy to anybody thinking of booking a harpist, worth every single penny. Thank you Lizzy and Encore team."

"27th January 2024. Bob was booked for a Burns supper. He was really flexible in what he could offer; I was asking him to play over a prolonged period of time, not a 40min 'set'. He engaged with the crowd brilliantly, and really brought the songs to life. I would absolutely recommend to anyone and would absolutely use again, thank you Bob."

"Kitty was a joy to deal with from first contact through to the evening. My event was a black tie dinner on board a river cruiser which took us on a 4 hour cruise up the Thames and return. I met with Kitty on board the vessel some months before to assess the environment and was impressed with her enthusiasm and interest in the event. On the night she sung for 30 minutes whilst guests were arriving and performed 2 sets after the dinner. Her voice is beautiful, very melodic and with the full band backing balanced really well. Kitty's range of vintage style music is quite remarkable. She doesn't just sing, she performs and dresses suitably for the style. My guests were fulsome in her praise. I have no hesitation in recommending Kitty to sing at your own event. She gives it a more personal 'edge' that other bands or discos wouldn't do. She was a delight to deal with and a delight to listen to. What more can I say?"

"He literally had audience members jaws dropping...transmits an energy to the audience that really connects with everyone. It doesn’t really matter what particular style of music you are into, when you feel the energy of this style of playing you can’t help but be drawn in."

"Well, we went along to the Clutha benefit gig in The Classic Grand, there were such a choice of great bands to choose from on 2 floors, The Mrs & I were downstairs as it was mostly rock bands and we had a seat, so the bands changed again & again until I heard the next band was a Ceilidh band, quite a few were looking around sort of laughing as if how’s this gonna fit in with the night, so there's now quite a few people sitting down waiting, so on comes as expected the usual accordion, fiddle,drummer & guitarist set up, and then it began, the accordion started then in came the fiddle then this electric rock guitar and ass-kicking rock drum beat, and low and behold before you know it everybody's on their feet standing poking their heads up and down to see who the hell was making this amazingly blended sound of rock & Scottish folk, the accordion player’s fingers were impossible to track as they rolled up and down the board, and the fiddle was just about glowing to match, topped off with a great guitar and drums, with bits of Pink Floyd through to Miley Cyrus flung in, hard to believe but true, and all served up for your ears to savour at 100 mph, the whole place became electric, it was amazing to listen to and stunning to watch, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this band, We got talking to David (the accordion player) and his family afterwards and found him such a laugh & such a nice family, highlight of the night, so thanks to The Shooglers your time & talent is very well spent and it shows cheers.

"Andrew showed an extraordinary degree of control and sensitivity…It was an outstanding finale to a concert of traditional musical language mixed with a fascinating introduction to modern musical values by an artist who can communicate with conviction."

"We all had a wonderful night. The band were excellent playing exactly what we wanted, bringing back memories of the 60's. Within a few minutes of them starting to play the dance floor was full and stayed that way all night. The band members were friendly and could not do enough to make the experience perfect. At the end everyone was saying how good they were, so many compliments. We would definitely rebook if there is another occasion to allow us to do that. "

"Dear Stevie, Thank you, from the Family and Friends of Jean Miller. Hearing the bagpipes played on her final journey made an emotional day bearable. You are approachable, kind and very professional, you would have played anything we asked, but leaving the choice of music to you was the right decision and you did a truly amazing job. Thank you again for the phone calls making sure everything was right, to staying at the end to meet the family. Very personal and you looked braw! Best wishes, Family and Friends of Jean Miller."
