"It was an absolute pleasure and delight meeting you on Saturday, you completely blew me away with expectations. I know that you had not had the best of weeks prior to Saturday, but please don’t let peoples opinions or actions define who you are as a person, or your passion. You are extremely talented and is a gift. So many people came to me and said how amazing you are! "If you are considering hiring Rory for your event 100% do it. Rory played at our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away, such a talent. Before our wedding we collaborated on what vibe we wanted to set, songs, some surprises for our guests and Rory completely understood the assignment and just continued to surprise and bring pure joy. Rory made our wedding the most magical, joyous and beautiful experience possible."

Hi Lyndsey, Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great, although I can understand with the wedding and everything, with all the preparation and seeing so many people from your life in one go, it can be emotionally and physically draining. Do take plenty of rest and care of yourself. You deserve it! Thank you so much for your wonderful testimonial, really, it means the world to me! As you know, I had such joy contributing to your special day and I really appreciate your kindness and the energy of everyone at The Merlin. Thanks also for your understanding, Sarah-Jane was very supporting, she said that this wedding was what I needed right now, and like you said it was meant to be! It was great spending some time in Manchester again! It was a fantastic event, a true pleasure to be a part of, and feel free to give SJ a shout if you need any help with any future events. Many thanks and have a wonderful Christmas. All the best for 2025! Cheers Rory

"Hi Davie and the band, Now that the wedding is over and we are back from our honeymoon?, I just wanted to send you a massive thank you for the awesome night of dancing we had last weekend at our wedding at Lands of Loyal Hotel in Alyth. You have got to be the best ceilidh band I have ever heard!! The rocky and fast-paced sets were just unreal to dance to and all our Irish guests loved learning how to ceilidh dance. Such an amazing night and we really cannot thank you enough! I have dropped Chloe at Freak Music a wee email to say how fantastic you were and asked if she can put the review up on their website. Thanks again guys, keep shoogling!!! "

"Mark, a belated thank you to you and the band for really making Sophie and Justin's wedding reception a great success. Thank you also for being such a good sport and allowing me to ruin 'You really got me'. I really enjoyed making a fool of myself (at least I did at the time).Thank you again. I will certainly recommend Party Sounds to anyone I know seeking a great band."

"Excellent singer & performer who was so easy to deal with from start to finish. The weather was fine on our day so we moved everything outside and Sarah-Jane was able to perform outside for our event. It was fantastic. Thank you."

"Dear Fiddlestix You were all BRILLIANT Saturday night! Thank you SO much, everyone really enjoyed your music and the dancing. Your caller must have had such a sore throat the next day (!), and I adored your little lady on that MASSIVE double bass! Thank you SO much for making my party such a success. You were fantastic, and I hope we can do something similar again soon. Maybe my husband's 60th in two years' time. Thank you SO much!!! Lots of love, Victoria xxxx "

"Incredible performance. Traditional string quartet, playing beautiful music for our wedding reception - what could be better! Such a good performance that our guests were pulling up chairs to sit closer and listen. Thank you so much."

"The band had everyone on the dance floor and we had excellent comments from everyone who attended the function. Nothing was too much trouble, they helped with games, allowed us to use the PA etc. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending or booking them again."

" Beth S 9 days ago, Encore review 5 out of 5 Green Street Trio really set the tone for a fabulous 60th Birthday event that truly went off with a swing. From the first contact with the band, to the night itself, communication was easy, professional and friendly. Peter was kind and obliging, even offering to play two songs of my choice at the party. On the night itself as the sun set over the bay the band began to play, greeting my guests as they arrived with mellow, swing music, just perfect accompaniment to the setting and for the event. At one point they even played Happy Birthday for me. Green Street Trio were a great hit and I would have no hesitation in recommending them or booking them in the future. "

"Absolute band played at our civil partnership party and really brought a lively atmosphere! We all enjoyed the mix of traditional Irish tunes and classic hits, and they played songs to get people up and dancing. Particularly special was they learned specific songs for me to sing with them (as a surprise for my partner), and helped me with the singing which was much appreciated. They also played songs from their set list that we requested, which was great. The band members were really friendly and great to chat to. Thanks so much! Ro & Tom, Wedding in Bath – 9th July 2022 "
