"I booked The Jive Trio to play at my husband’s 40th birthday party at our home. The trio played beautifully, they are a talented group of guys! The live acoustic music created a wonderful atmosphere on the day. The band were organised, prompt and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend the Jive Trio for an event."

"Rachel sang at our wedding at the Inn at Whitewell on Saturday during the signing of the registers. She was brilliant, and all of our guests were commenting on how good she was. Rachel sang beautifully, looked stunning, and provider excellent service and value for money. Thank you so much Rachel for playing such a big part in making our day perfect. "

"Hi Martin, We just wanted to say once more thank you so much for being so brilliant on Thursday. The music was spot on, your outfits were all spot on and we’ve had lots of comments saying that the reception was a lot of people’s favourite bit of the evening. I suspect the music had a lot to do with that. We hope you guys enjoyed it. Best wishes, William and Jen."

"Lucinda! We just wanted to say thank you for accepting to work alongside us. She just has this brilliant voice, the reason for choosing her was the fact she was the perfect fit for our NYE Hollywood Glamour party! No requests were too much of a trouble for her. What a great fun it was to have her. Thank you! "

"We threw a surprise party for my mum's 60th birthday and hired Iris to perform for us for the evening. She took the brief fully on board, understood exactly what we were looking for and made it such a special evening. My mum had been a jazz singer once too, and Iris got her to duet and eventually sing solo, as well! She was absolutely brilliant! If you're looking for someone to make an event not only better but really, really special, I could not recommend Iris more - she's a star!!!"

"The Swing Ninjas played at my wedding and were excellent musicians in the field of swing and jazz. We really enjoyed dancing to their up beat Jazz/swing music. They also had a charisma on the stage which was captivating. "

"I booked Lucinda for a surprise 60th wedding anniversary gift for two opera connoisseurs at their home. I didn’t know if it would work but I had faith in Lucinda from the outset. Not only does she have an impressive CV and extensive plaudits, she is so professional. Firstly, Lucinda is very passionate - it shows in her superlative organisation, she sought a clear brief and was extremely responsive with communication throughout the booking (which she accepted and confirmed within 2 hours. For Lucinda the ‘customer is king’ insofar as she is very client-focused, openly explained the logistics from her self-sufficiency with audio technology & choice of arias for the performance, and the right presentation and make up for the event. Everything with Lucinda was seamless, engendering my utter trust in her competence and ability. The recipients of this surprise were cagily forewarned by me of a ‘delivery’ which may cause a temporary noise disruption for neighbours. The rest (they say) is history - metaphorically Lucinda’s performance brought the house down! My friends loved their surprise gift, the neighbours enjoyed it too, and apparently a passer-by in a car was so mesmerised he ‘followed the music’ like a Homeric sailor following the song a siren, and invited to stay for the rest of Lucinda’s set. He too was very impressed. Nor did Lucinda dash away after performing, rather she stayed and swapped stories with the happy couple of the opera world. Thank you Lucinda for translating my moment of inspiration (and mischievousness 😉) to life for two very dear friends on their 60th wedding anniversary. 🙏🏽 As lifelong opera fans with experience on the global opera circuit they don’t hand out praise liberally when it comes to opera singers but said “Lucinda’s performance was great”, that she is “extremely talented” and that they and their neighbours were “utterly delighted” by her. It is an understatement to say this was a job well done. Lucinda has given my friends a personalised performance and a marvellous memory of a lifetime together, with her operatic songlist. In achieving the desired note, Lucinda delivered drama, hope, and passion - the stuff of their life together. In doing so she delivered a top quality performance that was well beyond good value - it is priceless. I cannot recommend Lucinda more highly - she has trained in the most prestigious academies, and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and anyone who does can be confident of an outstanding outcome. "

"How thrilled we all were with The BV's. We hadn't met any of the band before, sourced them online, and were just overwhelmed with them. They had everyone up dancing, the songs were absolutely fantastic, and we’ll definitely have them back."

"Most of all, we wanted to let you know that we loved the band and their music...they were just as good as I'd hoped they would be and they were very easy and pleasant company. Those that did hear and experience the music did love it and thought it added a lovely vibe to the party. Thankyou to Last Minute Music also for your excellent customer service and very smart booking procedure through the website. You've been so easy to communicate with, both through the messages via email and the website but also by phone and it's actually been a really stress-free part of organising a party that meant a lot to us. You've been so helpful and friendly, it felt like a breath of fresh air doing business with you. We'd highly recommend you to any friends or family we know who need some music for an event. Would you please let the band know we would also do the same for them. They were great! We wish you continued success with the business which enables live music to survive and thrive ..something we all need in our lives. "

"We had Lady Luck at our wedding and they were nothing short of spectacular! The sax player went into the crowd as she played, Keisha's voice is incredible and they got the entire crowd on their feet and dancing (even the ones that didn't want to!) They really did "make" the evening. Big, huge thanks to Keisha and the ladies."
