The mixture of styles and the variety of instruments they played was a joy and an eye opener that , and the level of ability with all the instruments they played was Phenomenal. We would love to see them again in due course at one of one Social events. Many Many Thanks."

"Last summer, we were delighted with the performance of saxophonist / clarinettist Rory and pianist exploring the music of George Gershwin. This summer, Rory 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!"

"We decided to book Studio Groove for our Wedding Party as we thought their demo video and information appealed to us and the video clip gave me a feeling that this was a naturally good, genuine band. Derrick from the band was very accommodating to our needs, he sent us their music repertoire so we could pick and choose our preferred set and we also had the option to leave it to the band to 'read the audience' on the night, we chose both :) The night came and the band was simply amazing, they are fantastic musicians, everybody were asking who they were and were did you find them. In fact Studio Groove made the evening so special. I highly recommend these guys and I would definitely hire them again."

"Edina played two sets of classical Spanish guitar at our wedding and was amazing. Not only that but she was entirely fuss free. We were both thrilled that we booked her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! "

"Hi Titus I wanted to email to say thank you to you and Julia and the rest of the quartet for Saturday. The musicians were wonderful. The music was absolutely stunning on the day. The quartet played so beautifully, I felt it was really peaceful and special. Julia was really easy to liaise within the lead to the wedding, communicated clearly, and really went above and beyond in finding arrangements and playing additional pieces that we requested last minute, such as Ave Maria and Pie Jesu, as well as helping me plan the music, suggesting other pieces that could be nice too as well as finalising the order of the music. I was so grateful to Julia for all her help and patience, and would not hesitate to recommend Julia and her fellow musicians to anyone. Warm regards "

"I would like to say thanks to Rory for being with us on our wonderful day. With so many other things to worry about on the day it was reassuring to know that my guests were being looked after when they arrived by the sweet jazz music of Rory. I had several comments saying it was a nice surprise to be greeted by Rory when they arrived. Rory and the team was also very accommodating to myself and my wife as we were running a little late on the day and he stayed behind for a extra hour to make sure that we had a nice arrival when we stepped out of the car. It's my pleasure to give the short testimonial to Rory and the whole team who worked together to make our special day a little bit better. Thanks. Mr and Mrs Nwigwe."
