Review Centre: Latin / Salsa / Mariachi Bands

"We booked Rory for our daughter's 21st where he played the piano for a relaxed drinks reception in the house, followed by sax working with the DJ in a much more lively party setting afterwards over at our annexe. Rory blended in perfectly in both settings, with relaxed sets being played on the piano followed by very engaged, immersive sets with the sax on the dance floor with our guests. He really just gets on with his thing and really made the event that extra special and received a ton of complementary from some very happy guests. We would whole heartedly recommend."

"I wanted to thank you very much for your marvellous Spanish Guitar playing at my party on 7th April. You were a consummate professional and so many people, including musicians, came up to praise your playing. It really helped to make my party special."

"I wanted to say that Rory, Soso and Will were absolutely first class. They arrived in plenty of time before the event and were super talented. They helped create what felt like a scene out of a movie with all our friends standing around drinking champagne and chatting against the backdrop of the setting sun and superb jazz. I had lots of people asking after the band so I will be passing on your details, if you don't mind and keeping you in mind for all future events."

"Rory was 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."

"Rory opened our wedding party in London with his incredible saxophone skills, giving a skilful and energetic performance to start the night with style. His jazzy tones playing over a mix of modern day classics from Smooth Operator to Despacito put smiles on the faces of every guest. Rory played a solo set for an hour and a half but also jumped on his feet and grabbed his sax to play along to some of the DJ's set throughout the night giving the crowd of dancers a musical treat every time he did. Many guests commented on how friendly and talented he was and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering Rory for their future celebrations."

"Our music evening at Novotel Manchester Centre was elevated by Tijuca Taxi. His talent and skill made for an entirely lovely evening for all of our guests, many of whom commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. I would highly recommend this act again as they were not only talented and played wonderful music but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the evening."

"We really enjoyed your show last night in Carnaby Street. My wife loved your Facebook song. You got everyone involved in your performance, and that’s great. I’m a Dj and I know that’s not easy. But you got the crowd on fire!"
