Review Centre: Saxophonists

"Our music evening at Novotel Manchester Centre was elevated by the Rory Duffy Trio. Their 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 group again as they were not only talented and played wonderful music but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the evening.” - Novotel, Manchester, June 2011"

"Rory was so easy to work with - a great professional. He even helped us out with last minute requests such as lending us extra microphones for speeches and bringing a music stand for our celebrant. As soon as he started playing the room came alive - from saxophone to piano he added a special, sophisticated, musical magic to the evening. You can't beat live music and Rory is a very talented musician. Thanks again Rory! It was a pleasure to have you perform."

"Very much enjoyed by all. Such a talented guy, music was great and Michael was very professional and friendly. The booking was a surprise for my mum at her 60th birthday party who was completely overwhelmed and hasn't stopped talking about it. Will 100% book again when we have another big occasion. Thanks Michael, you really did make our party what it was!"

"Rory was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. All my guests commented on how good he was from start to finish, the music was perfect. He made all my guests feel relaxed and made it really enjoyable. I got chance to have a quick chat to Rory and he's such a lovely person too. I really recommend Rory to anybody who is looking for a saxophonist at a reasonable price too. It was all perfect thank you so much Tracy & Mick's wedding."

"Jermaine was a lifesaver in adding beautiful touches to a quarantine funeral. He went over and above and nothing was too much for him. Him leading the horse and carriage and family to the graveside was a moment I will never forget and the finishing requested song was beautiful. Words cannot express our thanks x"

"Emma was fab, super easy and relaxed to deal with, just sent her a couple of emails and she set my mind to rest that she would turn up and play Anything with the DJ and didn’t need to worry about much else! On the night the guests loved her, many asking for details to book for their own events and weddings! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Jermaine added that extra special touch to our wedding day! Our wedding was postponed twice and there was a few hiccups on the actual day and he was so cool with everything, very flexible and understanding. His talent was absorbed by all the family and got them out of their seats!! He can literally play along to anything and has a good time doing so too! We didn’t go through a list of songs I just told him that kind of music I like and he literally took it from there and played banger after banger! Would highly recommend him for any occasion and will be using him again for sure! Wish him all the best for the future and hope he get widely recognised for his astounding talent!"
