Photo of The Bash Street Band The Bash Street Band "Peter and I wanted to thank you for your fantastic performance at our wedding. You really did make the reception extra special. We have written a review for you on Last Minute Musicians. (Nimmi and Peter, Buxton)" Based in Sheffield, England Nimmi and Peter - Buxton wedding Photo of Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt "Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt came and played for our wedding reception in October and did an absolutely fantastic job. They read the room extremely well, making sure that the dances were appropriate to the ability of the group, and did their best to include everyone from 3 year olds to 83 year olds. We had so much fun and would highly recommend them!" Based in Nottingham, England (32 miles from Sheffield) Sam & Cat Pepper - wedding Photo of Beer for Breakfast Beer for Breakfast "We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your superb work on Friday night. People were coming up to us saying 'this lot are fantastic...where did you find them?' Everyone had a ball thanks in no small part to the brilliant atmosphere you guys created. Thanks again, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, feel free to put anyone our way who'd like to know what you're like! Sincerely hope to see you again in the future.

Based in Reading, England (135 miles from Sheffield) Rachael Thomson - Burns Night Reeling Party Photo of Blag Blag "Absolutely brilliant! Made the entire night and brought so much life to the party. Played a mixture of upbeat songs and irish jigs and accommodated the music we wanted for the party and accommodated all ages. So excited to book them again. The guests are still mentionioning them a whole week after our event. Most friendly and professional band you could hire. If you're looking for a band to accommodate 18+ look no further, the whole place was dancing all night. Very talented guys. Thank you so much for making our party that much better."
