"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding - you were fantastic and we had a wonderful time dancing with our guests! The evening was perfect, everything we had wished for. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it and you could really tell from all the laughing and smiling that the guests were having a great time. Some people had never been to a ceilidh before and I think they are now hooked! The music was wonderful and we really appreciated you playing some French folk dances for the French side of the family. From the moment we got in touch with you we knew you were the right band choice, as you were so friendly and professional. You went out of your way to make sure the evening went as planned. Thank you especially for letting us steal you away from your set-up to play us a few maypole tunes and for staying and helping us with the after ceilidh disco. Wishing you lots of good luck in the future and if we ever plan another ceilidh we know who to call!"

"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."

"We've had Sonia play a number of times at the bar and it's always a lovely night. She reads the crowd very well and plays a good mix of popular jazz tunes, all beautifully played and Sonia's vocals are warm, silky and wonderful. I would definitely recommend her!"

"Having booked these guys watching their videos online due to COVID they exceeded all my expectations and were truly outstanding - their videos don’t do them justice to how good they are live! We enjoyed them so much we paid them to stay on as we didn’t want them to leave! Having spent many years watching small bands in pubs I can honestly say they are up there with the best I’ve seen. If your looking for a small band to fill any room and interact brilliantly with the crowd these are the guys. Genuinely really nice guys with a huge passion and brilliant to work with. If I don’t see you before see you at the 70th in 10 years!!"

Hi Rich, many thanks for your review and for the very kind words. It was great working with you too - you guys had clearly put a lot of time and effort into making the event happen - and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing for you and all the other guests. We hope to work with you again in the near future! All the best, Martin and Stuart

"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."

Hi Adam and Sofie, Thank you so much for this very kind review - it is perfect, and exactly what I was looking for. It was a real pleasure to entertain you at your garden party, and I am thrilled that you enjoyed it! We would be delighted to offer our services again in the future. Keep in touch and best wishes :-) Many thanks and best regards, Rory

"The Tribe were great, everyone danced the night away. Lots of party guests have commented on how nice the chaps were, as well as the music being spot on. Everyone I dealt with throughout the whole process was friendly, helpful and efficient. Thank you."

"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"

"Ball was a great success again, and definitely an improvement on last year with you guys back on the stage. Everyone I have spoken to after the event commented on how good you are and how you sense the mood and keep everyone dancing, so thanks again for a top night. I'm not sure I'll be involved with organising next year's ball, but whoever does will want to book you again. "

"Very talented musicians and vocalists, I was fortunate to be a guest at Melissa and Matt's wedding in Cornwall where they were playing and it was an incredible set that they put together and a great evening. The musical arrangements they reworked to show their abilities were brilliant and the camaraderie and enjoyment shone through from both the band members and the guests. It was fantastic! "

"After the singer / acoustic guitar player dropped out on the morning of my friend’s wedding, I made an enquiry with Alan who responded within minutes! They were able to arrange a cover of the specific song my friend wanted to walk down the aisle to during the course of the morning(!), turned up on time, and performed beautifully during the ceremony and the drinks reception at Oxleaze barn. Super professional, friendly and high-quality performers who quite frankly performed a miracle - thank you! "

"Thank you so much, you were absolutely fantastic. Everyone has been talking about your performance, and you certainly made the party and gave a very authentic 1940's feel to the night, I would highly recommend you to anyone hosting a 1940's themed party."

"The band knew how to read the room and pick the perfect songs to create the ambience we wanted. They were not too loud, but still had the energy to give our event the wow factor!"

"What can I say other than these 2 wonderful performers made my recent cruise . I thought they were the best thing on the ship and hope that Ambassador realise this Kelly can sing absolutely anything and makes every song her own in the most relaxed way she makes it seem easy and I know that for the amount of time she had to sing every night it would be anything but easy . Graham is an amazing musician and plays guitar as well as Hank Marvin Thank you both for making my cruise so enjoyable xxxxxxxx Ps I’m the women who whispered thanks on the last night as I walked past on last night x"
