"“Rory, you were amazing and made my birthday. Everyone loved you. You’re absolutely marvellous on the sax. The guests were all asking me for your details. I thought Baker Street was incredible. It’s one of my favourites, I like that anyway, but I thought the way you played it was so good — everyone thought so. The photographs are beautiful. I’m young at heart and love glitter and glamour and your outfits were fabulous. You made the day. They’ve all asked about you. Very, very impressed with the way you play that saxophone, but for me, I think Baker Street was my outstanding one. Everything was wonderful all the way through, from Phil Collins to the Italian songs at the end which you learned specially. All asked about you, for other occasions, birthdays, Christmas, they were very impressed with you. Three people are looking at booking you. Obviously, we’ve got to wait for those occasions. They’re talking about Christmas. You went down a treat, an absolute treat, and I’m so pleased. I thought you were wonderful. Everyone asked for your details. Tell Sarah-Jane we were delighted. You already have at least three more customers!” Sandy, Birthday Party, Rory @ Private House, Angmering, West Sussex, August, 2026"

"We had Rory play sax at our garden party for c. 100 guests in July. It was a hit! Although, I booked only a few days in advance it all worked out very well. Booking team was very supportive. Rory connected in advance to get a sense of the type of party, age and help decide the right playlist. On the day of the event, he came on time to set things up and was flexible to accommodate our requests. I am very happy with my decision to have live music at the party and have Rory take care of it. Highly recommended!"

"We had a Cuban themed annual ball, and Latin inquisition played a huge part in the success of the evening! Everyone was impressed and enjoyed their performance! Really couldn't have had the same night without them, they were high energy with amazing vocals and really got everyone up and dancing with their very own renditions of classic songs. Post event everyone mentioned how good and great they were. Great band. Lovely boys. Beautiful vocals. And their good looks didn't go amiss. Thankyou for a wonderful evening xxx "

"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. "

"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 absolutely loved having you perform at our wedding so thank you :)  "Rory played at our wedding in London and was such a great choice for our big day. He was really easy to communicate with in the lead up which meant all our requests were performed on the day. Everyone commented what a lovely addition Rory was for when our guests arrived and into the post ceremony drinks reception, creating the exact atmosphere we had hoped for. Thanks Rory for helping make our day extra special."

"My Wife and I had the great pleasure of having Fuego perform at our Wedding Reception. They were absolutely incredible!!! We were so impressed by the professionalism and the communication leading up to our Wedding; especially, during and after our Wedding Reception was excellent. Their song repertoire is brilliant and they sound amazing! Our guests were so pleased and we all thoroughly enjoyed their sets. We highly recommend Fuego. They will not disappoint! "

"This summer, Tijuca Taxi enchanted the audience with his fusion of acoustic Latin with Brazilian music, jazz and soul and the arrangements were tastefully orchestrated with guitar and percussion. It made for an engaging performance. We hope to have him back again soon!"
