Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Our organisation was hosting an afternoon tea party for the senior residents of Henley and Kitty was the perfect choice. Her set list was spot on, full of songs that the audience knew and loved, she had the whole room singing along by the end of the afternoon. Kitty has a beautiful voice and it was a pleasure and a joy to watch her performance. Kitty was a delight to work with and ever so helpful in advance of the event. I would have no hesitation in booking Kitty for another event. "

"Robert played at our Wedding on Wednesday and we would recommend him highly! He played whilst our guests arrived, during the signing of the register and during our drinks reception. His music created a lovely atmosphere, nothing was too much trouble, he was very professional, and kept in communication during the run up to our Wedding. Thank you Robert!"

"David made the whole day brighter with his piano play. He plays effortlessly all types of music with such grace and creativity. He can bland in the background while you eat and he can shine bright and entertain the crowd when it is time to sing and dance. Next to him being such a nice person, he makes piano playing look so easy and it is a joy to listen to him."

"Saturday night saw the highly anticipated and another eagerly awaited return to ‘The Crown’ Family Pub and Live Music Venue, 749 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 3HD, of Top Cambridge Party Band ‘Under The Covers!’ They are ‘Simply The Best’ 3 Piece band that sound like a 4 piece we have had playing from outside of Peterborough! ?? Fronted by the charismatic Lead Singer and Bass player ‘Thomas Pollyn’ ??who literally fanned the audience from start to finish with his legendary ‘Long Necked Bass!’ making no need for our air conditioning!, the band started the 1st set the way they meant to go on with with ‘Summer of 69’ featuring brilliant Lead and backing vocal harmonies from ‘Thom’ and Lead guitarist’ ‘Christian Jones’ ??and it was ‘Party Time’ once again as we were quickly taken back through the decades!??? We then got 3 absolute classics in a row, ‘ Shake rattle and roll’ by Bill Haley and His Comets ? ☄️ from 1955 and ‘Build me up buttercup’ by The Foundations ‘Twist and shout’ by The Beatles, which featured great drumming by ‘Lewis Dunmore’ ? There was some really ‘refreshing’ song choices again from this band! In particular ‘Escape’ (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes from 1979!? Great humour in the band! Thom: “This is about a man called Johnny!” Christian: “Where does he go?” Thom: “He just goes!” Lol ?? A great version of ‘Johnny B Goode’ followed with excellent Lead Guitar from ‘Christian! ? ‘Play That Funky Music’ with ‘Thom’s’ bass playing giving ‘Mark King from ‘Funk Band’ Level 42 a run for his money!, ‘I want to break Free’ and ‘The Best’ by Tina Turner took us to one of the definite highlights of the 1st Set! ‘A Message to you Rudy’ by The Specials which was worth the ‘Free Admission Price ‘Alone! ????? ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?? and then ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers closed the 1st set in style and demonstrated again the great diversity in this great band! Set 2 started strongly with ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Chelsea Dagger’ It was then ABBA time with ‘Does your mother know’ and ‘Mama Mia’?‍???‍♀️?‍?? Next up was the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited Ska 2-Tone section of: ‘Lip up Fatty’ ? by Bad Manners ‘Monkey man’? by The Specials and ‘Baggy Trousers’? by Madness which was awesome! ??? ‘I bet you look good on the Dancefloor’, ‘Sex on Fire’? ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Mr Brightside’ and ‘Sweet Caroline’ took us to set closer ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ by Oasis. A well deserved Encore saw the band play the anthemic ‘Living On A Prayer’ by ‘Bon Jovi’ with again incredible Lead and backing vocals from the band! ???? BIG Thank you to ‘Under The Covers’ who we look forward to bringing back next year! ?"

"Matthew played an acoustic set during our wedding reception in a beautiful open courtyard at Meols Hall. His performance was perfect for the setting and the day. He really helped to set the atmosphere we were looking for during the reception. I can't speak highly enough of Matthew's ability as a singer and a guitarist. Prior to the big day, Matthew was responsive to questions, engaged in calls to discuss details of the day, and worked with us to create a set list to fit our wedding day. He was professional from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Matthew to friends and family for future events."

"It was a pleasure to have Chris play on our wedding day, first welcoming guests with bagpipes and then playing low whistle during the ceremony. Chris is an excellent musician - the music was beautiful and made our big day even more special! By having multiple instruments in his repertoire, we were able to pick the perfect music for each part of the day. Throughout the planning process, Chris made great suggestions for pieces of music to play and was very flexible and accommodating. "

"Excellent singer"

Reply by Peter Stanford
Hi Lynette. Thanks very much for your kind review. It was great fun singing at today's garden party, even though the weather turned it into an indoor gig instead! I'm delighted that you enjoyed my singing.

"Hi Rob. Jenny and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding and absolutely smashing the main room all night! You worked so well with the DJ and kept the dance floor packed all night long. Playing The Man with the Red Face as our 11pm unofficial first dance absolutely made our night. Pretty much all of our guests have told us they thought you were class. If we get chance to book you again we will definitely do so! Thanks again. Steve and Jenny"

"Jermaine is excellent! I have worked with him at jobs before and know that his standard of work is high. I hired him for my mother in law's 60th birthday party last year and he wowed the audience with his amazing talent. During this current COVID-19 pandemic, I was struggling for ideas to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday and Jermaine saved the day with his sweet selection of tunes. The wife was extremely happy and was well and truly surprised. Jermaine always arrives early to set up and test his sound and is the ultimate professional. We will definitely be using him again and for future events and he is well recommended. "

"Esme was excellent! We hired her for our wedding party (post wedding breakfast) and she was brilliant at getting people on the dancefloor. She was brilliant at gauging what was keeping people dancing and switching up her music options. Thank you so much Esme! Everyone was talking about how brilliant you were."

"The band were absolutely fantastic, catering to our musical tastes and allowing us to use their speakers to play music between sets. They got everyone dancing and partying and were very enthusiastic. As musicians ourselves, we were very picky about our wedding band but these guys did not disappoint at all. We would recommend them to anyone - great value for money, great service, talented - and they even travelled from London to Lincoln!! :D Thanks. "
