"Rory Jazz Trio 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."

"Rory were great at our wedding. First, they were super-flexible, fitting in with our somewhat fluid plan for the day! But most importantly, all our guests loved the accompaniment they provided to our special afternoon at Holdsworth House. They are a very talented bunch of guys, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a live jazz band. Thank you very much."

"We booked Latin Soul on a total whim because we wanted to make our tropical wedding in Bristol extra funky - and boy did they deliver! To start with they played laidback soulful vibes to suit the drinks reception, and then got everyone on their feet dancing and having the best time. I loved Yuri's beautiful voice and amazing stage presence and they both interacted really well with the crowd, it was such a buzz. Before long we were all dancing and joining in. From the moment we booked to the big day, they were professional and friendly and just a dream to deal with. I just wish I could get married all over again so we could dance some more. Thank you so much Yuri and Paul - you made all our dreams come true. "

"Tijuca Taxi put on after show performances for Manchester Camerata at the Bridgewater Hall and at the Royal Northern College of Music respectively. I am pleased to say that both performances went successfully; Tijuca Taxi brought a tasteful cosmopolitan selection of Brazilian tunes and acoustic Latin, blending well-known arrangements with original compositions, which created a buzzing vibe and went down very well with our audiences, keeping them at the bar all evening! Great fun and would definitely book for future events."

"We booked The Latin Inquisition as a two piece band to perform at our wedding reception. From the time of enquiry, the band were friendly, professional and efficient to communicate with. They provided us with a varied and extensive repertoire for us to select the songs we wanted them to play and even said they could learn and play a special request - they can now add 'Despacito' to their catalogue! Their song list is a mixture of well known popular English and Spanish songs adapted in their own unique style, along with a number of lesser known mainly instrumental tracks from Latin musicians - a nice balance. The band come fully equipped with their own PA system which they can fit in around whatever sound equipment is already there. They performed 2x45 mins sets and were absolutely brilliant! Musically the lads are extremely talented guitarists and excellent entertainers - and put out a big sound for a duo! The skill and talent required to play and sing in such a manner should not be underestimated - absolute professionals! They sounded amazing, very unique and we loved every minute of the performance and had a good old dance! Feedback from our guests was all positive - they're amazing musicians, and a very entertaining and original act to highly recommend. "

"I saw the band when we arrived back to the church, music sounded great and the duo looked professional and happy to be there. Everyone enjoyed their performance and we would definitely book the band again if we were lucky enough to have a large event in future. Thanks so much for all your help and please do pass on my thanks and appreciation to the band. It was great to have them at our wedding!"
