Last Minute Musicians Reviews

" I booked Jess for my husband's surprise 80th birthday party in Buckinghamshire. Throughout the whole process she kept in touch by phone and email and responded very quickly to any queries or requests that I had. On the day of the party there was a national rail strike, but she still arrived in good time for the party despite having had to take a much longer and more circuitous route to reach us from London. What a find she turned out to be! Not only is she strikingly beautiful, but she is very gracious and friendly and has the most amazing voice and an extensive and wide-ranging repertoire of songs. I booked her to perform three sets and I had wondered if that might have been too much, but I need not have worried ... no-one wanted her to leave and would have been happy if she had stayed on for another three! . She really was the icing on the surprise birthday cake and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. My husband had a wonderful time and I have received so many messages from friends and family, saying how much they enjoyed the party and that they all thought Jess was amazing."

"What a fabulous evening! 120 adults and kids packed into the village hall having the best family fun time attempting to Barn Dance the evening away with Ben leading us all on a charge round the floor! Brilliant musicians, excellent instruction and fantastic humour. We would all recommend The Shamrock Experience for your Barn Dance or Ceilidh, simply superb!"

"Absolutely Special 70th Birthday Party Evening attended by up to 50 Guests, who were all rocking away to Martin's very skillful playing & singing of Music Covers ranging from the 60s to today's hits. He literally had nearly everyone on their feet, singing and dancing to his cleverly paced x 2 Sets, and people were leaving their food plates un-eaten to join in the fun. Later we/they were loudly demanding more even though he was already generous and beyond his time-limit. He kindly and readily responded by playing yet more great numbers that everyone sang to and enjoyed, with his lady Wife giving her undivided attention and support to all the valuable tweaks needed in the background, to ensure a smooth operation. Everyone in the room without exception totally enjoyed the music, very professionally delivered and to which I understand, was Martin's way beyond 500th Gig. We could easily continue these many and well deserved compliments, but it was Topped by even the Pub's Landlady Claire and Ex-Waldorf Hotel Chef and husband Gerard, saying that this was easily the Best Music night and happy crowd they have ever had there. Recommendations indeed. The only thing left to say is that, if you don't book them now for your Party you will definately miss out for 24. Thank you so very much Martin for making this a very special night for my Wife Barbara ,close Family and Dear Friends, which will be long remembered and hopefully repeated at some stage in the future. Ronnie Hilton. M.A.Psych. Well recommended for originality in the presentation & interpretation of his Song Covers, Good Price/Punctuality and approach/response to his Audience."

Hi Ronnie, Wow - I am very touched by your very thoughtful review - thank you so much for taking the time to say all those kind things :-) I always try and do my best and I'm super pleased to hear you all had a great night and I was able to do a really good job for you. Thank you for being so friendly, welcoming and accommodating towards my wife and I and making sure that, throughout the evening, we had everything we needed and were comfortable. Ronnie - you are a true gent and were an absolute pleasure to work for - I hope we can work together again in the near future! Very best wishes, Martin

"I'd heard really good things about South West Band and I was not disappointed. I hired the band for my wedding in July in Beverley. They were so organised, punctual and really friendly. They played so well and got everyone up on the dance floor. The main comment from all the guests at the end of the night was how great the band had been. Would 10/10 recommend, thank you so much!"

"We hired Rhys for our wedding on Saturday 7th March. Right from the start Rhys was brilliant, I requested quite a few songs that he didn't initially know and gave him a huge job in learning and putting everything together. Rhys sent me updates, snippets of the songs and communicated right up to the morning of our day ☺️ Rhys sang whilst we signed our marriage documents and then during our canapes - he was amazing. We loved it so much that our drinks reception turned into one of the most special moments where all of our guests gathered and sang along with Rhys which was magical. Rhys was polite, friendly and stayed after for food, chatting to our guests and joining in with our wedding! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better talent - it was perfect for us! For years we had been set on having a guitarist at our special day and choosing Rhys was the best decision! We would recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful voice at any event! Thank you so much Rhys ❤️"

"Eccentric Pony were absolutely awesome at our wedding! They kept the dancefloor on fire all night and judged the crowd really well whilst also taking into account our preferences that we'd discussed before the day. To be honest the videos don't do them justice! Jimmy's communication was brilliant from our first enquiry to the night itself. We had loads of comments from our guests about how great they were-can't recommend them enough, thanks guys! Bids and Joy x"

"Rory performed at Mind of the Student's launch event in Westminster, London in Dec 22. He was incredibly professional, and so talented! We would for sure book him in again, and recommend Rory if you're looking for a great sounding saxophonist to play at your event. Thanks again Rory."
