I can’t fault this company. We contacted them as we were looking for someone to play the bagpipes at my dad’s funeral. Within no time after emailing them we had been allocated a piper who also messaged back straight away. As with anything that needs planning it can be stressful especially a funeral. They took one stress away from us. Special thanks to Sarah-Jane for all her help. Can’t thank you enough.

I was let down last minute but the team at last minute musicians were absolutely amazing and so accommodating. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had an act that was not only amazing but could meet our requirements in a really short time frame. I can’t recommend them enough!

Wonderful all around! Booking went smoothly as Sarah-Jane and her associates communicated clearly and promptly. I was coming from overseas and they made it very easy. Piper Millie gave a great performance, played some classics and a cover we had requested earlier. She was delightful and answered our questions about the bagpipes and was very friendly with the dog when he got scared of the sound—she knew just what to do :)

Last minute musicians were very helpful when we arranged a last minute party. They were very quick and responsive with options.
However, it would have helped us if their videos of performances of the musicians had more focus on the music than other party goers, and were more available. It was hard to judge if their recommendations would be a good fit for our event and we don't believe it was the best fit in the end. Also the actual contact with the musicians and night didn't feel as professional or efficient as it should have been

Just wanted to say a great big thank you to Adam for making our pre Christmas drinks party an amazing success on the 23 December 2023 - everyone enjoyed it and Adam created a wonderful atmosphere through his repertoire of Michael Buble songs and festive favourites. Adam is highly recommended and Last Minute Musicians and their support staff and feedback made it an easy task to plan and execute. We will not hesitate to contact them again. Thanks for a memorable evening that got Christmas this year off to a great start !

Last Minute Musicians were an absolute dream to work with. They were so responsive to all our queries and found us the most incredible string quartet and tabla ensemble for our summer garden party. The whole planning process was smooth from start to end and we will 100% be using both this company and the act again.

Absolutely brilliant tribute singer! We booked Sinatra my way as a last minute due to being let down by another act and he was absolutely brilliant, interacted with everyone and his voice was amazing! Our members are asking us when can we get him back already! last minute musicians were also great as they really helped us and were such an easy way to find and book a musician 1st class service!

Thank you so much for your lovely review Joanne, it was my pleasure to organise it for you and Paul thoroughly enjoyed performing for you.
I am a singer with Last Minute Musicians, and in my opinion, they’re the best bookings agency for performers and punters alike.
Whenever I receive an enquiry via LMM, I’ll know I’ve been selected by Sarah-Jane and her team because they feel I’m the right fit for the client and the gig – not just because I’m a singer, and someone out there needs one.
When a booking goes ahead, I can rely upon LMM to keep me and the client updated, and to allow us ample opportunity to ask questions and fine-tune arrangements, before the contract is signed.
On arrival at a gig, it’s always reassuring to know the groundwork’s been done, and the client and I feel like we already know each other, and each other’s expectations. That’s how it feels with Last Minute Musicians.
I warmly recommend them to arrange the perfect act for your next party, gig, or wedding!

We booked a band through Last Minute Musicians, the band "Outfit" were absolutely fantastic. From the start of the booking to the actual event ran so smoothly. The music was great, everyone loved the different ranges of songs. They turned up on-time. Overall fantastic, we would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your review Vicky. I will certainly pass your thanks over to them, I think we did at the time. I am a little behind on my replies on here :)
Event: Small Harley Owners Group Rally
Venue: Holbeach Hurn, Spalding
Band: The Garnet Grenades
These guys did an absolute cracking job for us, and had the audience (although few in numbers) fixed with a fantastic performance.
They did all the classics that suited our varied music tastes.
They had folks up dancing nearly all night
Well done
Highly recommended

Thank you so much for leaving such a fantastic review Pete. Really glad you enjoyed the music the Garnet Grenades provided for you.
Last Minute Musicians really have the artist at heart in their process from start to finish you know exactly where you stand with a great online booking process. Can’t speak highly enough of them. For this particular gig they acted in our best interests ensuring we were fully informed every step of the way.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Tony. It's always a pleasure representing you and the band.
We were looking for a Ceilidh band for our wedding anniversary and we came across the Willow Tree Barn Dance Band, and they were absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend them. All our guests commented on how good they were, and Mick was great in getting everyone up dancing with instructions on the particular routine for each song.
We booked with Last Minute Musicians and the whole process was so easy, and Sarah-Jayne was wonderful to work with through the arrangement stages.
We would highly recommended them both.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, I really appreciate you taking the time (especially mentioning me too) , Mick is such a lovely man and the band do a lot for us so I know when we book them that the guests will be in safe hands.
The whole experience has been amazing! From enquiring, to booking, to the actual day - just fantastic. It definitely took some wedding stress away. Double or Nothing were absolutely fantastic - they were totally different to any wedding band I have seen. Many of the guests commented on how wonderful they were. Tom stayed on to DJ for us and he was awesome! He played exactly the kind of music we wanted and took requests from our guests. The communication from Sarah and Tom was nothing short of outstanding! I have recommended the company and Double or Nothing to lots of people already. Thank you for helping us make our day special!"

Thank you Leah , it was so lovely to work with you before your wedding to organise it for you. I am so glad you enjoyed the duo and Tom's dj'ing. It sounds like it was a fantastic day. Thank you for recommending us to other people, I really appreciate it. Congratulations again Love Sarah-Jane xx
The process was made easy with Sarah-Jane who kept me updated regularly
Our Piper Chris Lindsay was professional, excellent piping playing laments and leading my brother to his resting place. I highly recommend this service and Chris

Absolutely wonderful organisation for last minute hiring of musicians. Our beloved dad passed away, just before Christmas, but it was so important for us as a family to have traditional Irish music to be played at the wake, which was in our local pub. Sarah - Jane and her team were an absolute pleasure to do business with. It was extremely streamlined and not complicated at all. At a time where we were grieving, it was greatly appreciate to have been shown compassion and help from Sarah - Jane and her colleagues. Dermot and the musicians themselves were absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them for any occasion. I wish all interactions were as straightforward and pleasant as this one. Thank you very much indeed. The O'Brien family.

Glitterball were the band introduced to us by last minute musicians after describing our needs to Sarah-Jane. They were perfect for our wedding! Nothing was too much trouble and James was super helpful - learn a new song for our first dance? Done. Visit the venue in advance to familiarise yourselves? Done. Play more Kylie? Kylie medley prepared and sang perfectly by Molly - a really star performer! I think that they could not have done a better job. They really helped make our day. I cannot recommend this band enough, they will make your day extra special - the icing on the wedding cake!

Hi Zoltan, What a lovely review, thank you so much. I know James is thrilled. Many congratulations again from all of us here at Last Minute Musicians and from the band. Best wishes Sarah-Jane
We had a last minute booking for some entertainment for our secondary school at the end of Christmas term. Thank god I found LMM! A superb band was found for us at very short notice. The booking and contract process is so easy, and using the online chat and booking management tool, it was all so easy. Messages were responded to promptly and politely. Really, really great experience. And the Band! They were FANTASTIC! They played Christmas songs for hours bless them, and got all the students involved and having fun - even the ones who thought they were too cool to take part! A really successful event, thank you so much. We'll be looking to book again, for sure.
