""Stephen saved the day for us! At a short notice (3 hours) we booked Stephen to play a 1 hour set. He soon had us up on our feet with a fantastic mix of current and older music! We couldn't get enough and asked if he could extend his set, which wasn't a problem for him at all! He was that good we've already booked him again and know we will be doing so for a long time to come!" ​- Shannon Butler"

"Jade & the rest of the quartet's performance was phenomenal. I highly recommend them. Beyond being a first rate musician - she was also a pleasure to deal with during organisation & music selection. Jade provided me with guidance and accommodated my specific requirements with a high degree of professionalism and sensitivity. It was the best possible musical tribute to my wife who tragically passed away at a young age. A beautiful performance from the quartet provided the hundreds of people gathered with a shining ray of light. Thank you - from the bottom of my heart. "

"Not only did you bring the guests to tears with every track you played and blended two of my favourite songs ready for my entrance, you both changed the emotion of the atmosphere with your beautiful playing. Every time I think back to my wedding, I think of the ceremony and the impact you both had!  Guests have not stopped talking about you guys!  We’ll remember it forever! "

"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."

"I travel from Sydney to distant places to tour with my band Fuchsia (fuchsiamusic.com) finding string players wherever I happen to be. When I came to England this year, I found Emily on Last Minute Musicians. The music has some fairly complex arrangements, and is unusual with its own unique psychedelic/folk/rock nuances. Emily was dedicated to getting it right, and she played from the scores provided, playing the parts with flair, style, soul and individuality. She was a pleasure to work with, fun on stage, and I would recommend her to anyone from any genre of music."

"We just wanted to say the biggest THANKYOU for playing at our wedding. We are over the moon with it all, and you’re music really was the cherry on the cake. Utter perfection! Stu also wanted to say thanks for putting him so much at ease...we couldn’t be happier! All the very best!"
