Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Put simply, Ellen was incredible and we would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to hire a guitarist. We had to hire Ellen fairly last minute due to our original guitarist being injured, but as soon as we got into contact we knew we were in safe hands. Ellen was quick to respond, incredibly accommodating (learning two song requests with less than two weeks notice!) and made the whole day seamless. She listened to our preferences and made sure the set list was perfect for us on our wedding day. All of our guests commented on what an incredible performer Ellen was and she really did make the day special. Even the DJ we hired for the evening commented on what an incredible performer Ellen was, and he was particularly impressed with her rendition of Creep by Radiohead. It’s fair to say we were blown away with Ellen as were our guests. We cannot recommend Ellen enough!!"

"I think it's safe to say that an evening with Ma Bessie & The Pig Foot Band proves that jazz is good for the soul. Reading Fringe Festival goers were treated to a journey through the music of Bessie Smith, empress of the blues at Shehnai in London Street. It was an evening of all things diva and jazz, and it was smooth and soulful, and had guests swaying in their seats and tapping their toes. Reading’s own Julia Titus (Ma Bessie) has such a rich quality to her voice - it's almost like velvet. When she hit some of those notes and showed off her vocal skills, I wanted to let out a 'whoop' or a 'yeah'! She really does revive the great divas of jazz, blues and soul. Everything just flowed and there was a really relaxed, almost informal vibe to the whole performance where it felt like there wasn't a divide between the audience and the band. We were all just hanging out listening to an evening of great music. Queen Bee was my favourite song - there was something quite sexy about it, I felt like I should have been wearing a red dress. Julia also sang a few songs off of her album called 'Life is Too Short', which were great. When you have a powerful singer like Julia, sometimes bands can get lost in the performance but that wasn't the case at all. The band are very much part of the Ma Bessie experience and are all very talented - they all need each other to complete the ultimate jazz show for the audience. I really enjoyed the solo with Matthew Foster on the guitar and Chuck Lloyd on the saxophone. "

"Charlie sang at our venue and she was absolutely brilliant - and we mean world class brilliant. We loved her performing skills, her stunning vocal ability and her friendly fun personality. The audience was absolutely entranced and captivated by her wide ranging versatility - from jazz standards and romantic ballads to big band swing and heavy duty Rock and Roll. We can thoroughly recommend Charlie for any function or event - weddings, festivals, restaurants, theatre, radio, television - anything at all. We guarantee that you won't be disappointed."

"The Craxton String Quartet are fantastic! We had them for our wedding in October, Molly (whom I communicated with) couldn’t have been more perfect, so accommodating, friendly and professional. The music sounded amazing and added a huge element to our church wedding and our guests loved it. Compliments all round and certainly a must book! "

"We booked The Soul Debonair for our wedding reception on the 10th August, by the evening everyone was up on the dance floor dancing the night away. I can honestly say Noel is the guy to get the party started and a great entertainer, I’ve already had a few of my guests want his details for upcoming events. We also asked Noel if he could perform our first dance and he sung it absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend, lovely guy and has the most amazing voice. "

"Our guests ranged in age from 18 to 90 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their music. They have a fabulous range of songs which kept our guests entertained. They are extremely professional and very easy to deal with. Our guests raved about them and we would thoroughly recommend them. They made our special day extra special and you can’t ask for more than that". Andrew and Eleanor Mackay xx"
