"I booked Darren Shaw through Last Minute Musicians during the summer to entertain our group at the Christmas Party which we held on Thursday, 1st December 2022. You can imagine picking someone from the internet to entertain a group of over 150 people at their special annual bash I did it wondering if I had done the right thing. The evening came and Darren was at the venue in excellent time to get set up and for Richard to test the sound equipment. We had our meal in the lovely venue of the Grand Pavilion at The Moorlands, Ogden, Halifax, which is our local place for posh parties. Then on came Darren and from the very first number I could relax and enjoy the evening as he was wonderful. He very quickly picked up what our audience liked and he ran with it all evening. He did us a 45 minute spot and then we drew our raffle which was quite a long affair as we had many prizes and in total we made £432 which went to our chosen charity for the year - Prostate Cancer. Then on Darren came again and had everyone on the floor dancing and for those who weren't able to dance we could sing along and sing our arms in the air to Sweet Caroline and such numbers. What I great evening he gave us. I spent the following day receiving emails and phone calls from people who had been at the party telling me what a wonderful evening they had had and saying how wonderful Darren had been. I would not hesitate to recommend him as your entertainer, you won't be disappointed. "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Steven Larcombe’s Birthday Ceilidh – October 2025 The party-goers – whether seasoned ceilidh dancers or first-timers – loved the band. And they were professional, but also flexible and uncomplaining to deal with. Thank you Black Velvet Band!"

"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."

"WOW!! These three girls were the highlight of a full surprise day for my wife to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary yesterday. All, and I do mean ALL of my guests were bopping in their seats and tapping their feet and were completely smitten and captivated by them and I cannot thank them enough. They were professional, adaptable, accommodating, sensitive, had superb harmonising voices and were truly beautiful, and I can assure you that they will remain in the memories and hearts of myself, my wife and our guests for a long time to come. If anyone is looking for an act to provide glamour with beautiful music, harmonies to charm the birds, and great personal characters - then this is the one for you! "

"The guests and I thought that 21C were simply awesome. They hit all the notes, played some of the best contemporary songs and did justice to some old rock classics. Sound quality excellent."

"Lucinda is the consummate professional and sounded much better live than her video performances. She took our event to a higher level and was received well by our guests, so much so that they wanted us to dispense the rest of the programme and let Lucinda continue to sing for us. 10/10 for customer satisfaction.

"James has Excellent Vocals and really great energy’s Everyone loved it and James was brilliant at engaging the audience. I have also seen the JJs band live at a live music venue and they were fab. They have great energy and there is so much talent between them! Their original tracks are catchy and they absolutely nailed the cover songs. I would definitely recommend James for his solo acoustic set, providing you with a mix of chilled and upbeat songs with strong vocals. He has the ability to keep you entertained throughout the night. Or, you could hire the JJs band if you want the energy to be buzzing and enjoy some really amazing electric guitar solos."

"Chris was absolutely professional and incredibly easy to work with. Chris' beautiful playing set a lovely atmosphere for the occasion and he was able to put together a wonderful repertoire perfectly suited to the evening with very little guidance. Performances at regimental dinner nights can be quite heavily criticised if not done just right but there were only positive comments on this occasion Thank you Chris! Would definitely recommend this very talented pianist."

"BRILLIANT Saxophonist!!! I cannot recommend Joe enough! He was absolutely awesome for our wedding and is so talented on the saxophone. Joe kindly learnt a piece of our first dance song too which made it so special. So many of our guests have told us how great they thought Joe’s two Sax sets were. I would definitely recommend Joe to anyone looking for a saxophonist to play at their wedding/party/event. Thanks so much Joe!"

"We recently had Ophelia perform at our ‘Day of the Dead’ party, and she was absolutely fantastic. Her combination of live vocals and trumpet created a brilliant atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. She brought great energy, engaged naturally with the guests, and delivered a performance that felt both professional and personal. We received so many compliments from our guests and would be delighted to book her again for a future event—especially a summer party if she’s available!"

"Emma recently sang at our church service singing a mixture of hymns and contemporary songs. We couldn't have been happier and all our guests commented on how good her voice was, really adding something special to the service. Emma was great to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her"
