"You were simply extraordinarily kind, helpful and generous with your time and offerings. Rory. Your flexibility to adapt to the occasion and effort to provide the music requested for before and after the live singing, was amazing and much appreciated. Your partnership with Harry was brilliant and his cajon just gave that important Latin American flavour to the event. Sereta's singing was wonderful too. Thank you, Thank you. THANK YOU! "Rory, you, Harry and Sereta were simply wonderful. Not only did you follow thoughtfully what I had requested in the type of music and Latin American ambience for my 70th birthday lunch with 70 people, but also took the trouble beforehand to find some specific music (i.e., the Chabuca Granda songs) and incorporate them into the repertoire. In addition, prior to the event, you kindly replied to all my e-mails and gave me some amazing suggestions including the willingness to incorporate some DJ music during the welcome cocktails and prior to the main music section after lunch. These little things make such a difference and show what a lovely and caring man you are, Rory, as well as being very professional. Please thank Harry and Sereta from me.  I was sorry that with all the chaos of the day, I may not have thanked them enough. If the top mark was 10, I would score you 11!😊 Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Rory entertained at my 50th birthday in our large garden. He brought all his equipment and was ready to start straight away. He was a multi-instrumentalist, and I couldn’t believe it when he got out both saxophone and flute. He played beautiful music with a professional, original backing track, I noted, and it was wonderful to have that live element. He also changed costumes half way through which we were quite surprised and amused at; I thought that this really added to the high standard of his professionalism and the variety of what he offered. He was very easy to talk to and I would definitely book him again. Even the neighbours next door asked if the music was live as it sounded so special and they wanted to come and listen."

"Edina played at the Birthday party of my girlfriend, beautifully, the music was one of the highlights of the evening. She even played Happy Birthday in a rumba style, and cool version of Game of Thrones. I would definitely book her again for another event."

"Edina and Tony played at our wedding in September and were amazing! They learn some special requests for us and even played me down the aisle to their own version of the Wedding March! They are extremely high calibre musicians and Edina was excellent to deal with, from booking to meeting in advance to run through the day's format. Thanks for giving an extra special atmosphere to our big day :) I have no hesitation recommending Du Fuego for any event. "

"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."

"Having Rory to play at our joint 70th birthday celebration helped ensure it was a truly memorable occasion. His assistance in preparing a playlist was a really important element and many of our guests asked how we managed to find such a talented musician. A complete professional and highly recommended."

"You were absolutely brilliant. Thank you for you for ensuring an absolutely magical and atmospheric evening. The age range was 21 to 60 and everyone loved your music. You understood exactly the mood of the party and the music was just right. You are excellent musicians and singers. It meant so much to me to have those Latin American rhythms as a backdrop to our party. I couldn't recommend you more highly. You were also extremely nice, professional and efficient in all your dealings. Gracias mil a Juan Carlos, Guillermo, Nickolai y Rafa. "

"Edina gave a superb performance accompanied by her guitar duo De Fuego, for a private party my family was hosting in a bar in Central London. Together they created a stupendous upbeat atmosphere which worked very well in contributing to the mood of the Spanish bar where the party was hosted. Both artists were unrelentingly smiley and engaging with their audience. I would definitely recommend Edina as a performer for any occasion or event. "
