"Black Velvet Band Irish Trio came to play at our relaxed outdoor pre-wedding get together of about 40 people. The three who made up the band were great – very talented musicians – they played all our favourites as well as some wider material. They were very keen to fit in with what we wanted to hear and gauged the mood as to whether to sing ballads or play jigs (after a few drinks people were up for having a bit of a dance). It was such a joy to hear live music again after all these months of covid restrictions. The Band really made the evening and they were really lovely people."

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job - quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I'm very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash. "

"Thank you so much to the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio, they were excellent from start to finish! They were easy to book and the communication was clear and fast. Everyone loved the band on the day and they made a special effort to organise a first dance for our families. We’re so glad we booked them! "

"We are SO pleased we were recommended Paddy K to sing at our wedding in North Yorkshire. He was the perfect addition to our reception drinks, really bringing the best vibes and tunes! His set list is unreal and he is a truly fab musician! Thank you so much, we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone planning a wedding or party!!"

"We are so happy we booked Rob for our party. We chose the jukebox option and it was ideal. We had an age range of 7-93 and the jukebox meant everyone was happy. Rob is very talented and had people up dancing and everyone entertained the whole time. I would recommend anyone in doubt about booking Rob, just do it you won’t be disappointed. I think having Rob at the party really elevated it from just a gathering to an amazing party with a great atmosphere. Thank you, I’m already thinking of an excuse to have another party!"

"From start to finish I found Last minute musicians very professional and very fast with answers to queries. I had my wedding on 21/09 and The lost performed for us, all of us at the event were highly impressed with the quality of their performance and they very kindly learnt a song for us for our first dance. Additionally they were always punctual in responding to all questions and on the day did everything the could do to make their role seamless and stress free for our day. I can not recommend these lads enough."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / 08/04/2023 / Ceilidh for Eastercon 2023 (Sci Fi enthusiast's convention) We had a fun-filled, joyous ceilidh, thanks to the amazing, talented Black Velvet Band.The band members are great fun. Alan had us laughing so much with his warmth and humour when calling the dances. The booking process was straightforward and professional. When I talked on the phone to Mike in advance, I was assured that these guys knew their stuff. When I requested non-gendered calling, that was no problem. The band are very versatile - they added a little Star Trek and Dr Who music, seamlessly, into the ceilidh tunes, to give us an extra-special thrill! I would have no hesitation in recommending these fabulous musicians. Noelle, from the Glasgow 2024 Worldcon team at Eastercon 2023, Birmingham "
