"We booked the Volare DUO to perform at the evening part of our wedding celebration and they were absolutely amazing. Fantastic vocals and brilliant with the crowd they really brought the party. Wish we had hired them for longer! They were punctual professional and communicated with us regularly before the event to make sure everything when smoothly. We highly recommend both Volare DUO and Last Minute Musicians for your event! Thanks so much ❤️"

"What an amazing band, and we had such a wonderful time. They had the whole party dancing until the end of the night. Adam was a great communicator, and it was a pleasure sharing our wedding day with you and the band. Everyone has commented at what a great performance, and to perform our first dance that was not on the play list was fantastic."

"This band are the real deal. I have never known a band put so much effort into a party. James was like road runner in speed with replying throughout and everything you need was covered by him, we were left with no worries on the entertainment front. On the day the band came in good time to setup, their equipment is ridicules compared to what I expected, the sound system is so clear and lights are brilliant. I watched the soundcheck while I was also preparing things and when I heard the final result I knew the evening would be amazing. Song choices were just spot on, Liz can sing anything and they actually ended up playing for about two and a half hours as people just wanted to keep partying. I booked them for a couple of hours originally. I will conclude by saying James and his band deserve every penny they get, they will do a proper job and are all around down to earth people and brilliant musicians."

"Black Velvet Band Irish Duo – Anniversary Party – April 2025 Very talented musicians, accommodating in choosing the music. Everyone was impressed and enjoyed the evening. A number of people have asked me who the band was for potential future bookings – I think that speaks for itself. Based on their performance and what people told me after the gig, I’m sure it won’t be their last visit to Malvern!"

Thank you so much for making our night. Rosemary & Simon"

"What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family."

"We booked Melisma Jazz at quite short notice for a garden party to celebrate our 5th Anniversary as a business. Sarah-Jane Morris was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was flexible in piecing together a quartet that suited our needs, and the atmosphere created by Sarah-Jane and her fellow musicians on the day was superb. Thank you so much Sarah-Jane for all that you did to make our event a special one for us, and we hope to have the pleasure of working with you again at some stage."

"Hi Luke, Thanks so much to you , Mark and Leo for the wonderful jazz last night . I could have just sat and listened to it for hours ! Rather a shame that the crowd got a bit stuck near the entrance rather than coming closer to you , and that quite a lot of guests arrived a bit late . But none the less your beautiful tunes were clear and made wonderful background music to conversation . And many guests paid you compliments .... A very professional talented trio, who I will certainly recommend to others searching for this type of thing. "
