Review Centre: Vintage Bands

"The band was, not to beat about the bush, completely fantastic and surpassed all our expectations. I think some of our guests were truly gob-smacked.Honestly, our wedding was great and you and the band were a really important part of that, and we are very grateful and will remember the evening quite literally forever."

"We could not have asked for anyone or anything better than Rose! Her vocals were incredible and her performances added a real sense of magic to our wedding. Rose was so professional, accommodating, kind and of course insanely talented. I would recommend Rose without hesitation to anyone looking for a singer at their event. You won’t be disappointed! …. Rose - thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can’t even begin to explain how much you added to our wedding day!"

"Thanks again for playing at our wedding. The music was perfect for giving the drinks reception that 'vintage' feel and definitely added a touch of class! We have had so many lovely comments from guests. We really appreciated your professionalism on the day and beforehand in fitting round our ever changing plans and song preferences for the day.

"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. "

"Good evening Francesca. Hope your well, Francesca just a note to say thank you for entertaining all our guest on our Wedding day, a great deal of our Guest commented how good you were and both Hayley and myself enjoyed everything you did on the day. We didn’t get the opportunity to thank you face to face as we were just wrapped up in our day. Thank you again Vic and Hayley."

"The band performed at the finishing area of the Big Fun Walk, North London Hospice’s biggest event, and we would definitely book them again. They created a celebratory atmosphere playing uplifting and energetic tunes which everybody loved. Phil was incredibly helpful, professional and easy to work with which makes all the difference when managing a large event. All of the musicians played with great skill, energy and sensitivity to the occasion and location. Our walkers, staff and even tourists who happened to be passing by, were tapping their feet and smiling in the bank holiday sunshine during their sets. We look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future."

"We had a brilliant event and the artist you provided for us, Kai, was absolutely fantastic. Her costume/make up and band were exactly what we wanted for our 1940's themed party. Everyone took to the dance floor and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you Last Minute Musicians and thank you Kai would definitely use both again in the future."

"Huge thanks to Tony and the rest of the band for playing at our wedding reception. You were absolutely amazing and kept the dance floor filled all night! We had many compliments from our guests on the choice of band and I have to say you absolutely made our night! The extra special touch of learning our special Elvis song was very much appreciated and meant the world to us. We can’t thank you enough!"
