"Don’t know where to start but The Leathernecks were blooming brilliant at our wedding!! So friendly and fun and great energy - they kept the dance floor busy all night! From the moment I first emailed to enquire with them, Nick was so professional and helpful. Always quick to reply to emails, helped with some good suggestions about playlists when our DJ pulled out and on the night their two sets were absolutely perfect. We’d never met or seen these guys play before the wedding but they were recommended to us - honestly, we’re so glad we booked them! They had so much energy and brought such a good vibe to the night. All of our guests were really impressed too, as was our photographer! The Leathernecks got stuck in, got involved and had fun with our guests and played brilliantly. They played our first dance which was perfect and will live long in our memories x"

"James and the band were brilliant, and we are so glad we booked them for our wedding celebration. James was really helpful in the lead up to the day: getting in touch, making sure we were aligned on the schedule and following up with a clear plan. The band on the day were excellent - they performed a great selection of music played during our canapés, dinner and then dancing. Our guests loved the music, they were all on the dance floor even though we had a relatively small crowd! The band also learned a first dance song for us (Elvis Presley - The Wonder of You) and they performed it perfectly for us on the day! Thanks so much James & the band!"

"Shama and The 515 Crew deliver more than just a show – the clarity of vocals and passion in their performance left both us and the audience wanting more. The stand out highlight of Bollywood Fever 2015 was having Shama and The 515 Crew 'wow' those present, set against the perfect backdrop of Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf in the heartland of London's cultural district South Bank. Polite professionalism, whilst being able to perform to an expectant audience is a rare commodity in the entertainment industry, however Shama and The 515 Crew achieve this in abundance. Comfy seats are not needed since by the end of the jam everyone will be on their feet shaking a leg!' - May 2015"

"Pipe Major Patrick was great. He arrived early, was perfectly happy to get ready and practice until the published start time. His playing ideally formed a musical backdrop to our beacon ceremony and was clearly much enjoyed by the village audience. Patrick followed the instructions around interludes and fireworks without any problem at all. We feel a Burn's Night coming on."

"Could not have asked for a better band from booking through to the wedding day. Ian called us a couple of times pre wedding to understand our very different musical tastes and managed to mix them all in for two fab wedding day live sets and a DJ set. The band even played a special song which I was incredibly last minute in deciding! The lighting you provided to the venue also completely livened it up and created a whole different place for the evening! So many wonderful compliments from guests since the wedding about how great it was that so many people were on the dance floor and how this was encouraged by the interaction between guests and the band. They (and we) loved the music so much! The most fabulous entertainment for what was a brilliant day! Thank you so much! You’re fab!"

"The String Trio we booked for our wedding were simply magnificent, creating precisely the atmosphere we sought as guests arrived, throughout our ceremony and afterwards in the most glorious of surroundings. They were completely self-supporting and arrived - played - departed effortlessly. I would not hesitate to book them again."

"We hired The Last Cavaliers for our wedding at Slaley Hall in August 2015. The guys came highly recommend and we have to say that they were even better than we ever imagined! !
Communication throughout was first class, the band were very approachable and happy to cater for any requests we made. They even learned a song for our first dance which made the night extra sspecial for us. 
Performance wise we were incredibly impressed by every aspect. The range of music played was very impressive and sound quality amazing. Having spoken to many of our guests about The Last Cavaliers I can confirm that every single person had nothing but good words to say about the guys and reiterated how good they actually were!!

The sample video's simply do not do The Last Cavaliers justice. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a top quality band who are great to deal with and even better to get a party going."

"Thank you so much for a great send off, that was just what we where looking for, made all the better with the percussion on the Bent Arms wall and on Mike from the bonfire society. Absolutely bang on."

"We hired the magical mystery four as a surprise for my Dads 60th Birthday party. They were fantastic. Everyone was up dancing and singing along, they played for 2 hours, lovely guys and great to communicate with the whole way through. Would 100% recommend to any Beatles fans! Thank you for making my Dads party a night to remember!"
