"Damien came with a friend and they performed really well. They have an amazing repertoire of songs and were able to play all the requests that were asked. They were just the right volume so people could listen to them and chat at the same time. They are very pleasant people and it was great value for money."

"I have had the pleasure of hearing this guy playing before and I had Christopher attend my 50th birthday party a few weeks ago, he was absolutly amazing and everyone was commenting on his performance, Mostly folk type music but he has a wide range of different styles of music to enjoy, he also accommodated a few requests along the way. A very friendly, professional guy with an amazing voice and I will definitely be asking him to attend any events again when the time comes, I can't recommend him enough. "

"I would absolutely recommend this quartet for your events! They are literally a string instrument jukebox. I was maid of honour at a wedding recently and had the pleasure of listening to them play a plethora of songs from video games, rock and alt, 90's pop and much more! Many of the guests had fun playing "guess that song" whilst enjoying pre-ceremony appetisers, and during the main meal. An experience I won't be forgetting in a hurry! 10/10 would definitely recommend. "

"I hired Slav for a marriage proposal I was planning for my client and he definitely over delivered :). He was early on site, looked great for the event and played absolutely beautifully for the proposal. Even though there was a delay with the bride getting on site, he was so graceful and kind and stayed longer to finish his set. I really did appreciate all his help and I look forward to working with him again. "

"Alex was hot s**t! He is a very talented musician but also he understood the tone of the event and matches it perfectly with the choice of songs . It was really brilliant and I would love to have him come and play at another event in the future. THANK YOU ALEX!"

"We booked The Latin Inquisition as a two piece band to perform at our wedding reception. From the time of enquiry, the band were friendly, professional and efficient to communicate with. They provided us with a varied and extensive repertoire for us to select the songs we wanted them to play and even said they could learn and play a special request - they can now add 'Despacito' to their catalogue! Their song list is a mixture of well known popular English and Spanish songs adapted in their own unique style, along with a number of lesser known mainly instrumental tracks from Latin musicians - a nice balance. The band come fully equipped with their own PA system which they can fit in around whatever sound equipment is already there. They performed 2x45 mins sets and were absolutely brilliant! Musically the lads are extremely talented guitarists and excellent entertainers - and put out a big sound for a duo! The skill and talent required to play and sing in such a manner should not be underestimated - absolute professionals! They sounded amazing, very unique and we loved every minute of the performance and had a good old dance! Feedback from our guests was all positive - they're amazing musicians, and a very entertaining and original act to highly recommend. "

"Great fans here at Success Express, Callum is not just a talented and original songwriter with interesting jazzy chords and thoughtful lyrical content but he stands out above so many solo artists in being a truly accomplished musician."

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily

"Nigel played at our wedding ceremony at Warwick Castle. He was a big part in making our ceremony feel special and personally to us. He learnt a couple of songs that we requested and it was amazing to hear these played. We also had our cousins sing 'You've got a friend in me' which Nigel learnt in a different key in order to accompany them and we loved swaying along with the song! We also loved leaving the room to "I'm gonna be (500 miles" and all our guests were clapping along in time - it was such a fun moment! Thank you so much for all your thoughtful touches - we absolutely loved it and we were so impressed with your phenomenal talent. I think you've got a life long fan in the form of my sister who was most looking forward to your performance after following you on Instagram - but my sister in law has said multiple times she also wants to book you for her wedding (despite not being engaged yet.... fingers crossed it might be soon though!! Hehe!) Thanks so much! "
