Review Centre: Saxophonists

"Last summer, we were delighted with the performance of saxophonist / clarinettist Rory Duffy and pianist Chris Roe exploring the music of George Gershwin. This summer, Rory Duffy enchanted the audience with his fusion of acoustic Latin with Brazilian music, jazz and soul and the arrangements were tastefully orchestrated with Julian Harris on guitar and Venezuelan percussionist James Vielma. It made for an engaging performance. We hope to have him back again soon! Whitworth Art Gallery, July 2012"

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

"We were recently lucky enough to have Cornel play at our wedding and cannot recommend him highly enough. The music played was exquisite and everyone has commented on how wonderful it was. We were able to mix some classical pieces with instrumental versions of more modern songs that have special meaning to us. Cornel was set up and ready to go when our guests arrived and was very discrete in packing away. I cannot describe how amazing the music was and how much it added to our special day. We are very grateful to Cornel for providing such an exceptional service."

"Ann-Marie is amazing… she was booked to play at my late sister’s wake. We were able to honour my beloved sister’s wishes for a saxophonist and having a joyous send off. Thank you Ann-Marie.. we are 100% satisfied with your performance and will 100% recommend you."

"We can’t thank Otis enough for stepping in at the last minute and absolutely smashing it at my daughter’s 21st party! After being let down, we were in a panic, but he came through and delivered an unforgettable performance. His energy was incredible, getting the crowd up and dancing in no time. The setlist was perfectly curated to suit all ages, keeping everyone entertained from start to finish. His talent and professionalism were second to none. You truly made the night special, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommend! - Langport "

"We booked Andrew to play at our wedding just before Christmas. From our very first contact Andrew was extremely professional and was flexible and very helpful. I was able to pick my choice of music from a varied list he provided. On the day itself Andrew made a really good impression with our guests. He played prior to the ceremony and during the drinks reception. He was very well received. I would not hesitate you recommend Andrew... his performance was brilliant... thank you so much for making our day extra special. "

"Honestly, Niki was amazing. We had thought of having our own music playing through speakers and then a special musical choice added on, so when we found Niki we were excited. We used her sound system and connected our phones for the times she wasn't on which was perfect. In the lead up to the day she had a lovely long call with us to talk about music choices and timings and outfits, she was always available to message, and on the day she dressed in our theme colours and smashed it out of the park! Everyone was on the dance floor, everyone was in awe, and mostly everyone's favourite thing from the wedding was Niki. So much fun and some great songs, old and new, we can not review Niki high enough - worth every penny and more. Thank you Niki for bringing something special to our day.x"

"Thanks for coming and your best wishes. I'm sorry some of the guests were not as receptive as I would have liked them to be but I assure you, that's not a reflection on you. We thought you were amazing and I've had many guests tell me the same so thank you!"

"It was brilliant! Having Jocee perform provided that magic something extra that turned it from a meeting into a show. The energy in the room was palpable. She performed brilliantly and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the event; patient and undemanding."

"Claire, Sorry for not saying thank you earlier but we really enjoyed you playing the saxophone at our house. When we have a drinks party which would be a lot smaller, we would ask you again to play next summer. We have some great photos of you which I will forward to you. Take care and keep safe, Lynette and Mark "

"I am so so so glad you had a cancellation on the night of our wedding and we were able to have you!!! You got everyone up and dancing and everyone commented on how great you were!! You were definitely my favourite addition to the wedding and the evening wouldn’t have been half as good without you and your sax!"

"I am so honoured that Classic Sax played at my late husband's funeral..he did Richard proud.. The way Michael conveyed emotion through playing the pieces was incredible ..in the words of Charlie 'Bird' Parker "If you don't live it , it won't come out of your horn", meaning that music is your own experience, your thoughts , your wisdom..... Thank you so much Michael!"

"Rory were a fantastic part of our recent 40th birthday celebration. Not only was the music excellent, they put a great deal of effort into finding and playing Jazz that fitted the era we asked for. Communication with the band in advance was easy and they were very helpful as we prepared for the night. On the night itself they were excellent. The music was perfect, professionally delivered and the band made our guests feel at ease and welcome on the dance floor. Thank you. We'd definitely recommend and use again."
