"Wendy was superb from the first communication. Very efficient and on the day turned up an hour or so before start time to prepare. Wendy is a lovely person but fantastic Sax Player too, all our guests commented on how great she was and how lovely it was to arrive with Wendy playing in the background. Would definitely book her again and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting some lovely background music. Great Job Wendy. Thanks Robbie and Caroline "

"The band were superb - especially given the massive delay before you were able to perform, and the fact that we forgot to bring the interval playlist(s)! Our guests were extremely complimentary and said they really enjoyed the band and the dancing. So thank you - and thank you for making it all so easy for us too. I hope that we get to see you perform again in the not too distant future."

"The band were really helpful when we contacted them before the wedding. On the day they set up with no fuss, and let us borrow their mics for our speeches. Their 3 sets were all really good-everyone was dancing from the beginning until the end, and everyone has been commenting on what a great band they are. They were so full of energy, and even ended up wearing props from our photo booth which added to the fun- the drummer looked great in a fez!"

"Hi Rory, I can't thank you enough for your performance on Saturday night. We absolutely loved it and lots of friends have been asking me who you were because they loved it too! You created just the right atmosphere at the start, it really got the party going and then the RnB towards the end was just fabulous - I love live music and you made the party for me! It was everything I had hoped for and more. You really tailored the music to what we had requested. You and Lilli were totally professional liaising with me beforehand, arriving when you said you would and trying to accommodate all our wishes. I just wish you could have stayed for longer! Thank you both - I will have to think of an excuse to book you again! Amanda"

"I booked Rory for my 50th birthday celebrations on the recommendation of a close friend. He was hugely helpful in choosing the right music, and nothing was too much trouble - even a last minute request to be added to the set! Rory is a an amazing and talented musician who created a brilliant party atmosphere, and I couldn’t have asked for more. He totally made the night, and I was so glad we had him entertain us. I could actually listen to him all day! I would highly recommend Rory to others - he is delightful to work with and a real gentleman." Andy and I have just watched a video of you and it was just such an amazing night, I loved it and would do it all again tomorrow, so a huge thanks to you Thanks Emma Emma Bradbury, Birthday Party, Birmingham, Rory @ X O Lounge, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, March, 2025"

Hi Emma, Wow—thank you so much! That’s absolutely perfect, and it means a lot to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such kind words. I’m so glad you and Andy and everyone had such a fantastic night—it was an absolute pleasure to be part of it! I’ll transfer the mixes over now so you can relive the evening anytime. Thanks again, and hopefully, we’ll do it all again sometime in the future! Cheers Rory

"Thank you so much to the band for just putting the icing on the cake at our wedding! The music was even better than what we had hoped for. All our guests loved your playing, from our little ones all the way up to our grandparents. Everyone said how much fun they had, and you made the atmosphere what it was. Thank you sooo much, we would love to hear you play again. Warmest regards and thanks again, Anneli and Matt Barton"

"Victoria is our resident star! She is a brilliant performer who entertains our guests each week with her stunning vocals, creating a sensational atmosphere and is a delight to work with. She always brings magic, elegance, and poise to her performances, and we loved having her perform for all our resident guests this last New Year to welcome in 2023 in style."

"" The Barbara Baker band played at my daughters naming ceremony. They were perfectly suited to the occasion and the mixed crowd of teens as well as older people. They played some lovely tunes and had a sophisticated and elegant look, perfectly suited to the occasion. I'd recommend them for any special occasion"."
