"The band was brilliant. Could not recommend enough. the choice of music, the energy they brought to the event was great. Very easy to work with, and very professional. Sound quality was great, even though the venue was quite small with hard surfaces, and the band did their homework about setting up and worked with us. A excellent choice, and would defo use them again. "

"Brilliant duo — they have such a wide variety of jazz and pop songs up their sleeves! They worked perfectly as background music and then got everyone up and involved later on. Couldn’t have asked for better!"

"Thank you for a wonderful programme of music last week. The audience – your audience – were quite captivated by your music. They were surprised by the versatility of the cello, as demonstrated by the imaginative and varied programme of classical, jazz and show pieces you played, and of course by your virtuosity. All comments were positive, ‘excellent’, ‘great music’, ‘most enjoyable afternoon’, ‘very talents musicians’ ‘magnificent’. On a person note, I was enchanted by your playing; I loved your Haydn and Mozart and your Drunken Sailor was a treat."

"We booked the Stereo Jacks through Richer Music to play at our wedding reception. The communication, from booking through to the event was very good we couldn't of been happier with the performance from the band on the night! The Stereo Jacks were just brilliant, they played an excellent mix of songs, got the crowd involved and completely rocked both sets they played. I highly recommend the Stereo Jacks as well as Richer Music for booking a band for any occasion. Thank you!"

"The Line Up were just incredible at our wedding in September 2021. They sounded amazing, had everyone dancing, with loads of charisma and energy all night. They were also super friendly and professional. Our first dance song was especially perfect - we were worried as we love the vocals on the original, but they made it sound so good that i preferred their version! One of our wedding guests has even booked them for their summer wedding in 2022!! Can’t say more than that! Thank you The Line Up for rounding off our wedding in style."

"It was an excellent night, everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Wonderful music, really talented musicians, and just the right blend of hits to get people on the dance floor. It was just a shame the early curfew for the venue otherwise I think people would have happily partied the night away dancing as you played. "

"Our guitarist was great. He played the Spanish music we requested and was kind to my elderly dad. Played happy birthday for us when he had his cake. Played dad’s favourite song to him. Friendly great guy! Would highly recommend. "

"I recently booked Rory through Last Minute Musicians for a Valentine's Day event in our corporate building reception, specifically for his saxophone performance. Rory pleasantly surprised us with an additional performance on the flute, adding an extra layer of charm to the occasion. Sarah-Jane Morris's team efficiently managed the communication and follow-up, ensuring a seamless experience. From start to finish, Rory's professionalism and talent shone through, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. I wholeheartedly recommend Rory for any event requiring exceptional musical talent. His professionalism, versatility, and dedication make him a standout choice. Thank you, Rory, for making our event truly unforgettable."

"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"

"We Booked mike for the drinks reception in the Dafodil hotel, Grassmere. The song choice was ideal and atmosphere was perfect. We were so happy with our choice, and couldn't recommend SaxSmith more highly. A lovely chap, and so easy to deal with from the start. Highly recommended. "

"I would like to say that so many of our guests commented on your performance saying how brilliant you all were. Thank you so much, especially working around our busy venue and also the weather was against us bit. Thanks again!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Dizzy Brasscals play two fantastic sets at our wedding on 22/06/2024, and we couldn't be happier! During our wedding breakfast, their first set was a hit creating the perfect atmosphere for our guests with most clapping and dancing along. The highlight of the evening was their second set alongside our DJ, where they performed as a roaming brass band, energizing the dancefloor and making the night unforgettable. If you're looking for a top-notch wedding band and something a little different, we highly recommend Dizzy Brasscals for their incredible talent and engaging performance."
