Angellica Bell - Top 50 UK Restaurants
Videostar 80s
"Absolutely fantastic nite for my 60th made even better with Videostar80. Dance floor was never empty and everone who was there last nite asking me the same question this morning - " Where did you get the Band from?" Cannot recommend these two highly enough!! 💙"

Andy Sharp - 60th Birthday Party
Bourbon St. Stompers
"We hired the Bourbon Street Stompers through Last Minute Musicians for a birthday party and they were fantastic. They were professional and friendly, both before the event and during and had people dancing from the first song to the last. The event wouldn't have been the same without them -- big thanks to James and the group."

Dorothy Albro - 70th birthday party
Regent's Jazz
"I booked Benji and his band for my birthday party and they were amazing - they read the room perfectly and created just the right atmosphere. They were also super efficient and reliable, communicating quickly in the lead-up to the event and making the whole thing such an easy experience!"

Frequently asked questions

Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
