"Thanks for your e-mail and I just wanted to reply on behalf of the whole team to say thank you for your help in making the arrangements for Rory and the band to be with us for our event. Our feedback is hugely positive - Rory arrived in plenty of time and liaised with us about the best place to get set up. The music was fabulous and exactly what we were hoping for in terms of providing a relaxed atmosphere for guests. We received lots of positive feedback about the whole reception on the lawn, including the music, so thanks to Rory and the band for their contribution to our event's success. We would highly recommend them."

"Rory gave a lively performance at Dursley Pride – was versatile and worked alongside the other artists to provide an afternoon of musical entertainment for the garden area of the festival, keeping the vibe going with LGBT-themed DJ sets to complement the live vocals and sax. The tie dye, feathers, and costume changes added the perfect finishing touch!"

"Hi Rory. Just a short note from Richard and I to thank you for your contribution to last night’s party at Hartsbourne. You were fantastic! A real star. The music was everything we could have hoped for and more, we couldn't be happier. It was a great success and I’m sure you’ll get other bookings from it. We know that the Social Chairman is thinking of booking you for the Club nights during the summer. You were great! I have told and will continue to tell as many of our friends as possible about you. Can I take you home with me? With best wishes. Carol"

"Thanks for your performance, you guys were great... We had Latina Festivale performing at the Lion & Unicorn recently and the music that they provided was perfect for a Saturday afternoon! The staff were dancing and the customers were impressed with the energy they created. Thanks for the fun & great atmosphere, we definitely would like to see you guys again."

"In Edinburgh, this is a rare chance to hear beautiful bossa nova music band. Today I was walking on the street to go somewhere for enduring an another cloudy summer day and right after cross the load the rhythm of bossa nova came out from a Bar near by. I got just carried away with the sound then just went in the bar alone ehich I have never tried to do, lol. (As a married and an introvert Asian woman perhaps) Sérgio was playing guitar with a drummer and their bossa nova playing got me almost tears came up. It was so beautiful moment for me. How deadly I have been wishing to hear bossa nova in Edinburgh. I have no idea why I haven’t been able to find his name when I google any type of bossa nova concert or live event in Edinburgh while I am living here almost 3 years. :-( Their music even brought sunshine back here in Scotland at the end of their performing today. lol. So appreciate for that I could have their great performing today under the sunshine in summer! I agree with the previous reply as he wrote that many people at bar or restaurant don’t listen to the music. However, at least today I can tell you that there was only their music and I in my universe at the moment and it was full of life feeling. Thank you Sérgio!"

"Rory played at our multi generational 40th wedding anniversary party. He arrived promptly, was very communicative and did a fantastic job playing his sax, covering hits right through from the 50’s to the present day. Our guests loved his music and he made a significant contribution to a successful party and fantastic day. I would highly recommend. I am a very satisfied customer. Very many thanks Rory."

Hi Nicky, Wow, I’m absolutely thrilled by your kind words—thank you so much! It was truly a pleasure to be part of your special day and contribute to such a memorable celebration. Your guests were fantastic, and it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the music. I’m especially grateful for the testimonial and your generosity with the tip—it means a lot to me. I’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Sarah-Jane and add it to my profile. Please don’t hesitate to give Sarah-Jane a shout if you ever need music for another event or if any of your friends are looking for a saxophonist. I’d be delighted to work with you again in the future. Thanks again, Nicky, and all the best to you and your family. 😊 Cheers, Rory

"We absolutely loved the SW Funk Collective (or Solar Funky Music - not sure what you’re actually called as your website has a different band name to LMM!) at our wedding. Not only did they do all the simple stuff perfectly (i.e. turning up on time and setting up efficiently with minimal invasion) but their performance was also fantastic. A truly cohesive group of talented musicians who not only do the Motown and funk classics of the 70s proud, but also curated a set list based on our preferences and learnt a song not normally in their repertoire because it mean’t something to us. Their performance was energetic and tight, and no effort was spared (including bringing and playing a slide whistle for just one song). I have already recommended them to several friends for their upcoming weddings. "

"Fuego performed at our wedding in August this year having booked them about a year in advance – and we're so glad we did! In the lead up to the big day, Rhona (band manager) liaised with us to come up with a set list perfect for us with the songs we liked from their repertoire, as well as learning a couple more new songs especially. On the day itself, the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone – the band, our guests and we – had an amazing time. Since then we've had a number of compliments from guests about the music. We couldn't fault the performance, and would not hesitate in recommending them! "
