"Thank you for a wonderful programme of music last week. The audience – your audience – were quite captivated by your music. They were surprised by the versatility of the cello, as demonstrated by the imaginative and varied programme of classical, jazz and show pieces you played, and of course by your virtuosity. All comments were positive, ‘excellent’, ‘great music’, ‘most enjoyable afternoon’, ‘very talents musicians’ ‘magnificent’. On a person note, I was enchanted by your playing; I loved your Haydn and Mozart and your Drunken Sailor was a treat."

"Joanne was a great supplier to work with and we are so glad we found her. She was accommodating with our unplanned and unscheduled delay on the wedding day. She made our ceremony in the woodland have that Irish/Celtic atmosphere, while also playing our favourite songs before, during and after the ceremony. Her violin music combined with the woodland setting of our wedding was just what we wanted and it was amazing.❤ Both us and the guests loved her music and She was more than happy to arrange a personalised playlist from the tracks she had on her repertoire list. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to add that special extra to their wedding day or ceremony. Thank you for making our ceremony feel so special and unique. And thank you for being our wedding violinist.😄❤"

"Andrew showed an extraordinary degree of control and sensitivity…It was an outstanding finale to a concert of traditional musical language mixed with a fascinating introduction to modern musical values by an artist who can communicate with conviction."

"Detheridge played the cello beautifully at our wedding. She was a big hit and people kept complimenting me on how much they enjoyed her playing. She turned up and started playing without me even realizing that she had arrived, which was great cause it meant I could focus on everything else! Everything went smoothly without a hitch and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her. "

"I first heard Andrew playing in kings lynn, his music was faultless and he is the ultimate proffessional. We booked him for our wedding , he played at the church , then at the reception and was such a popular character and his music so enjoyed a guest paid for him to stay the night and he then played at breakfast much to the enjoyment of my wife and I and our guests . I can't thank Andrew enough , proffessional to the end and one of the friendliest people I've ever met."

"How lucky were we to have Rebecca play the harp at our granddaughters wedding recently, she is such a lovely person and very professional in her approach and also in her performance, I would have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca to perform at your wedding/function and the next time I require a harpist, my first choice will definitely be Rebecca Mills."

"Absolutely fantastic. Working with Meredith to provide exactly what we wanted for our wedding was a dream, would highly recommend. One track which my husband really wanted was not in Merediths playlist however she found the music and took the time to learn it and absolutely smashed the performance. So many great comments from our guests and Meredith is so accommodating, really friendly and approachable and you would regret not hiring her to play for you at any event. Thank you so much Meredith for playing for us on our special day ? "

"Our father died aged 91 recently and as classical music had been his absolute joy throughout his life, we knew that we had to make it part of his small and very intimate funeral. How lucky (and delighted) we were to find through lastminutemusicians that a professional, Miriam, lives locally and that she would like to be part of this celebration of his long life. Miriam could not have been more helpful or sensitive in helping us to choose and adapt four very special pieces and she played them beautifully, especially as unlike a wedding there was so little time for preparation. We shall never forget the sound of her playing her arrangement for cello of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus' as my father's coffin was lifted and borne out of the chapel, and continuing to hear it as we followed it to his final resting place. It was the one piece that he had ever mentioned as wishing to include at his funeral, and it meant a huge amount to have it played live by someone who cared very much about her role in the service. He would have loved to have heard it, and who knows, perhaps he did. Our heartfelt thanks, Miriam."

"Utterly incredible. Loved the ease of contact, Cecily's manner over emails gave me such confidence she was the right person for our wedding and we were right! Her repertoire list was so extensive and had everything we could of wanted and more! When it came to the day her music was the first thing I heard as I entered the Abbey and it gave me goosebumps! Everything Cecily played was just as I had imagined and she timed it all perfectly! We can't thank you enough! Hannah and Luke"
