"Rory's Trio 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; Rory Duffy 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 them for future events."

"Great communication from start to finish. Accommodating and flexible with timings and song choices. He sang a great set list and provided the perfect atmosphere for our birthday event. Darren is a great entertainer and we had lots of our friends comment on how great he was. Would highly recommend. "

"I heard Rory playing an impromptu set at the Long Table and I was blown away with his performance. Extremely talented on many instruments, he got everybody dancing and a really fun guy. I'd recommend him to get the party started with the talent!"

"The whole process from dealing with the booking with Sarah-Jane to having the pleasure of the Sax player, Sachwood, the whole event was very pleasurable and the event was made very special. Thank you again Sarah-Jane, until the next time!"

"We had Andy provide the music and performance for my mum and dads anniversary party at a local village hall. He was simply sensational. My parents loved him and he was able to sing such a variety of songs. He wasn’t just run of the mill, he was a performer and his voice is incredible. He was flexible and kind and made the whole evening go without a hitch. Cannot recommend this man more for your next event!"

"We spent most of our evenings in the Lookout Bar, with the excellent Stratford and Borrell, a duo with a seemingly endless and varied repertoire, virtually everything except opera and rap. Very capable musicians with Paula on flute and sax and Mark on guitar and vocals. Their rendition of Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street will be a long-standing memory of our first cruise. Paula's saxophone is a tremendous experience. Thanks guys."

"Stephen was absolutely first class ! His communication was excellent and above all his music was perfect. He played at a wake for us ( probably something he doesn’t get asked to do too often!) and he created a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone said how good he was and he helped us through a difficult day. I cannot thank him enough. If you need a pianist book this lovely man . Thank you Stephen! "

Dear Tracy Thanks so much for your review, I was honoured to play piano for your mother's wake, very best wishes Stephen.

"I hired Holly jolly Christmas to perform at our company party and I haven’t stopped hearing rave reviews ever since. We were all blown away. Everyone loved the choices of songs, and the way the band played every one of them was so very unique! My boss is super happy with me for booking such a pro act. Thank you to the band for making it all so easy!"

"Stephen I would like to say one HUGE thank you for coming to play at our restaurant event last week. It was a very successful evening and with your amazing playing of both accordion and keyboard (for a very generous amount of time may I add) was the icing on the cake. We have had some lovely feedback on your playing and true professionalism. You played such a lovely mix of music for us. You kept communication with us so we knew exactly where we were at and with no hesitation we would gladly like for you to play for us again in the future. A true professional and a lovely gentleman you really brought the evening together perfectly. The hamper was the least we could do for you for your generosity. Thank you again Stephen..... Sandra "

"Zoe is a very talented and professional harp player who performed at our wedding at Woolverstone Hall on the 25th May 2024. Zoe played a range of songs we had chosen for our ceremony and the music was beautiful. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful and friendly she was and enjoyed the mixture of songs played too from classical to pop culture. I would not hesitate in booking Zoe again for a future event. "
