"The mother of the bride, who has worked tirelessly for months to prepare the house and the wedding day, said the salsa band was the highlight of the whole day. That is the highest praise anyone can hope to achieve! I personally loved them and the dedications of certain Spanish songs we had requested to our family members, thank you so much! "

"Carlo is absolutely fantastic. Communication was brilliant in the run up to our event and he really added that extra special touch to our evening. I would highly recommend Carlo and hope to have him join us again in the future. Thank you very much for being a part of our evening."

"The Dog & Fox in Wimbledon Village hosted Latina Festivale on the evening of 6th September as part of our Havana Club promotion. The band were reliable, arrived on time prepared and started as agreed. The guests enjoyed the new tropical vibe the band brought. Many thanks and best wishes, Marta, Sales & Marketing Manager."

"Many thanks to the guys and girl in Latina Festivale. This was something we have never done before and would really like to do again. We had them play outside in our garden and the vibe was excellent. Many customers said we should do this as a regular thing and the mood was excellent. The lady singer had a beautiful voice and the guys backed her up with super energy. We would love to have the guys back in the future."

"You were simply extraordinarily kind, helpful and generous with your time and offerings. Rory. Your flexibility to adapt to the occasion and effort to provide the music requested for before and after the live singing, was amazing and much appreciated. Your partnership with Harry was brilliant and his cajon just gave that important Latin American flavour to the event. Sereta's singing was wonderful too. Thank you, Thank you. THANK YOU! "Rory, you, Harry and Sereta were simply wonderful. Not only did you follow thoughtfully what I had requested in the type of music and Latin American ambience for my 70th birthday lunch with 70 people, but also took the trouble beforehand to find some specific music (i.e., the Chabuca Granda songs) and incorporate them into the repertoire. In addition, prior to the event, you kindly replied to all my e-mails and gave me some amazing suggestions including the willingness to incorporate some DJ music during the welcome cocktails and prior to the main music section after lunch. These little things make such a difference and show what a lovely and caring man you are, Rory, as well as being very professional. Please thank Harry and Sereta from me.  I was sorry that with all the chaos of the day, I may not have thanked them enough. If the top mark was 10, I would score you 11!😊 Thank you, thank you, thank you."

I will certainly forward your thanks to the musicians Harry and Sereta, both of whom really enjoyed meeting you and entertaining you and your guests. I am delighted that you were happy with the music, and your feedback is very much appreciated! I hope you are having a well-deserved relaxing break and some “down time” in Spain.

"The most gorgeous treat of a lunchtime gig yesterday at All Saints, Hove (Concert Series) with the Terry Seabrook Trio. Terry on piano, Nigel Thomas, bass, and Darren Beckett, drums. Celebrating the music of Bill Evans & Miles Davis. Sensitive and atmospheric. And thanks to Peter Morris for this innovative series in such an amazing setting. "

"I booked a saxophonist for my husbands 40th for 20 people. Rory was very friendly and talented. He played really well and the music was great and perfect for the occasion. Everyone enjoyed the music including the neighbours!   Also great service and easy to book.  Thank you Rory."

"Rory and his colleagues played at my husband's 40th birthday party. This was held on a summer evening at home for around 60 people. Having live music totally transformed the night. Rory's band created a really unique atmosphere. The music was relaxed and subtle, which meant that the conversation could flow, but so enjoyable to listen to that you didn't want it to end. I would love to have the opportunity to hear them play again and I would not hesitate to engage them for another occasion."

"We invited South West Swing Collective to be our house band for the afternoon as we ran an intergenerational tea dance event as part of The International Agatha Christie Festival. From young children to dancers in their 90s, South West Swing Collective entertained everyone with boundless energy and style. Thank you for getting everyone tapping their toes, up on their feet and swinging around the room. "
