"Hi Rory, Was a pleasure to meet you and I loved the band. Just wish I could have stayed longer and had a bunch of my dancers and Latin music fans with me to also enjoy! I'll definitely bear you guys in mind when we need a Latin Band. :-) Regards, Shahid - Salsa Buena, June, 2019"

"We first heard Edina at my a family wedding a few years ago and loved her! So it was an easy choice to have her play at ours and she was fantastic. Loved some of the pop culture (e.g. Game of Thrones) cover songs and she's a really friendly and lovely person. Thanks again Edina. "

"Edina and Marco were a joy. Not only is their music fantastic, really perfect to get our party going, but they play with such flare and skill. Although they were providing the background music for our mum's party whilst the guests ate, drank and chatted, they performed with such enjoyment and their connection with each other is extremely engaging to watch. They happily mingled with the guests during their break and played 'Happy Birthday' for mum at the top of their second set. From my first enquiry, they were really professional and kept in regular contact right up until the day, which I found very reassuring as I have not booked a band before. On the day, they were stuck in traffic but kept me updated with their progress and still managed to begin their set on time with no fuss. I highly recommend De Fuego and we will definitely be checking out their up coming gigs."

"Thanks guys for the wonderful job you did at the ‘Schillings’ event. The marketing team were so pleased and thought it the perfect way to thank their clients for another great year. Your performance was pure style - they just loved it."

"Last summer, we were delighted with the performance of saxophonist / clarinettist Rory and pianist exploring the music of George Gershwin. This summer, Rory enchanted the audience with his fusion of acoustic Latin with Brazilian music, jazz and soul and the arrangements were tastefully orchestrated with guitar and percussion. It made for an engaging performance. We hope to have him back again soon!"

Hi Anne, Thanks so much for this! I hope to have the opportunity of returning at some point in the future, and all the best with upcoming concerts. Thanks, best regards, Rory

"Rory played at our NYE party, he was professional and had a wide range of jazz and swing to play for us. All of our guests enjoyed his music and the staff did too! If we have any events in the future where a superb saxophonist is needed, I will be going straight to Rory! Thank you so much and we hope to see you again! Myles & the hideout team."

"Last night at Whighams we had a world music night which was one of the best nights we have ever had. First up Bossa Nova & MPB. For the last few months I have been lucky enough to work with Sergio and Kevin in this trio playing Brazilian music. We met at a jam session organised by Ash Gupta and are playing regularly. For me it is a welcome change and an opportunity to play a different style. Next up we had a fantastic band from Latvia playing a highly melodic jazz funk set which went down really well and was appreciated by the audience. Finally the evening was closed off with a fantastic flamenco set which was just terrific, I knew what Danielo Olivera and his group would do and was sure the Whighams crew would love it and they did! An excellent and very memorable night that I was delighted to be involved with and a highlight of the music program that Kevin and Graeme Knox put together. "

We couldn’t have asked for better and would certainly book you again. You received many similar comments from ours and our daughter’s friends. Thank you very much for helping to make it a wonderful 21st Birthday celebration."
