"I recently had the pleasure of working with Edina to create a very special marriage proposal to my now fiancee. I am from the United States and it was a bit daunting to find a professional musician that could carry out my vision and communicate with me from over the pond! Edina was great from the first email, courteous and timely in reponse. She learned 3 new songs to perform for us and the vocalist that worked with her (Hettie) was great too. She also took special requests for a recording of the songs and champagne for us to toast. Edina and Hettie sat in the cold and waited for us to arrive at the proposal spot! And the performance was lovely, made us laugh and cry, and made the greatest moment completely surreal. I recommend working with Edina, she is a pleasure. "

"We can't thank you enough for the amazing live music you played for our wedding reception on Saturday at Pimhill Barn. So many people have said you made their evening and you certainly made ours! The music meant I didn't stop dancing and I loved every second - our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you. Thank you so much and can't wait to see you when you are next playing in Shrewsbury (please let me know as all my friends keep asking). All the best, Mr & Mrs Groves"

"Inês and the band were the perfect sound to our reception, and they were even able to play one of my favourite songs by Djavan. They were able to respond really well to the crowd too, I can’t wait to have another reason to hire them! We all had a great time dancing to them and the whole evening went perfectly."

"I wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback on your recent performance. Your talent and dedication to your craft were evident, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Your tone was rich and full, which really brought the pieces to life. The sound quality was consistently excellent, making the performance very enjoyable. Your stage presence was confident and engaging. You connected well with the audience, making the performance even more captivating. Overall, it was a pleasure to listen to your performance. Your passion for music is clear, and it translates beautifully through your playing." Natalie, Rory @ Pinewood Hotel, Slough, Berkshire, August, 2021"

"The most gorgeous treat of a lunchtime gig yesterday at All Saints, Hove (Concert Series) with the Terry Seabrook Trio. Terry on piano, Nigel Thomas, bass, and Darren Beckett, drums. Celebrating the music of Bill Evans & Miles Davis. Sensitive and atmospheric. And thanks to Peter Morris for this innovative series in such an amazing setting. "

"We booked Carlo to provide the music at the evening of our wedding. He did 2 x 1 hour slots playing the saxophone along with music tracks. We gave some guidance in advance on the style of music we wanted (more pop-y for the first hour and then Ibiza style dance for the second hour) and he was spot on. All our guests loved it and were raving about it afterwards. It made such a great addition to the evening and so much better than the playlist we originally planned to play. It worked well in the venue we had chosen (a nice pub with around 60 guests). We would highly recommend - Thank you, Carlo!"

"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."

"I second Nikki's feedback. The guests absolutely loved Rory's music and were very complimentary to him. I would be very happy to recommend him for future bookings. Thanks so much for playing at our wedding. The entrance song (for both the aisle and the entrance to the dinner) was done so well, and I'm so happy that we had you there. Thanks for making this day even more special for us."

"Hi Rory, I can't thank you enough for your performance on Saturday night. We absolutely loved it and lots of friends have been asking me who you were because they loved it too! You created just the right atmosphere at the start, it really got the party going and then the RnB towards the end was just fabulous - I love live music and you made the party for me! It was everything I had hoped for and more. You really tailored the music to what we had requested. You and Lilli were totally professional liaising with me beforehand, arriving when you said you would and trying to accommodate all our wishes. I just wish you could have stayed for longer! Thank you both - I will have to think of an excuse to book you again! Amanda"

They nail everything from Pop, Rock, Jazz, Latin, Soul, Disco, Funk, Motown, Brazilian, Cuban, Spanish, Reggae and many more. I hire B & The Hornets several times per month and I will strongly recommend them, without hesitation, for any private event, wedding or celebration. "

"Great event. We loved the music and Rory was completely professional and helpful right from the initial planning to the performance. We loved that he could play both sax & flute, that was very nice contrast. Our guests loved the performance and enjoyed the ambience. Many thanks from our guests and Team."
