"Watched these guys gig at The Broadway a few months back and they lit the place up! Fantastic craic! There's a real synchronicity in the way they create their sound and give you those tunes you love but fresh so you fall in love with the chords all over again. Mr Brightside and Brown Eyed Girl were my stand out favourites but I sang myself hoarse to the rest! Will seek this band out again. They are what live music is all about!"

"🎉 Party of the year thanks to Gemma! 🎶 Went to Ellie’s 30th last weekend and WOW - Gemma absolutely smashed it. Her voice is unreal and the mix of songs she performed had something for everyone. One minute we were swaying to soulful ballads, the next we were belting out 90s bangers on the dance floor! You could tell she knew how to read the room - the vibe was perfect all night. If you’re planning a party, you need her on the mic. "

"We were recently let down by an artist and Marc came all the was from Manchester within 2/3 hours to help us out. He is a very pleasant and friendly young man who absolutely loves his music. He has extensive knowledge of all round music covering swing country jazz pop such as Ed Sheeran and many others plus, of course lots if the 60's. 70's and good old music. He even got a booking while he was with us. A big Thank you Marc for saving our day and best of luck to you in the future - you will go far."

"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "

"Hi Neil, It's Karen here from Fit for Life Mums (the sober one form last night's party at Cottons ;-)) I just wanted to pass on a HUGE thank you for last night - we've had so many fabulous comments about the night and how brilliant you were too. I know what some of the ladies get like on these nights, once they've had a drink or two...I'm not sure many of them get out very often!! ;-) Some were pushing things to the edge but you handled them so professionally and tactfully. You were just fab...you've a great voice, true charisma, and you just contributed brilliantly to the energy of the night. So a HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU from me and all of the other 80 crazy ladies for helping make it the memorable night it was <3 Karen"

"It was an absolute pleasure and delight meeting you on Saturday, you completely blew me away with expectations. I know that you had not had the best of weeks prior to Saturday, but please don’t let peoples opinions or actions define who you are as a person, or your passion. You are extremely talented and is a gift. So many people came to me and said how amazing you are! "If you are considering hiring Rory for your event 100% do it. Rory played at our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away, such a talent. Before our wedding we collaborated on what vibe we wanted to set, songs, some surprises for our guests and Rory completely understood the assignment and just continued to surprise and bring pure joy. Rory made our wedding the most magical, joyous and beautiful experience possible."

Hi Lyndsey, Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great, although I can understand with the wedding and everything, with all the preparation and seeing so many people from your life in one go, it can be emotionally and physically draining. Do take plenty of rest and care of yourself. You deserve it! Thank you so much for your wonderful testimonial, really, it means the world to me! As you know, I had such joy contributing to your special day and I really appreciate your kindness and the energy of everyone at The Merlin. Thanks also for your understanding, Sarah-Jane was very supporting, she said that this wedding was what I needed right now, and like you said it was meant to be! It was great spending some time in Manchester again! It was a fantastic event, a true pleasure to be a part of, and feel free to give SJ a shout if you need any help with any future events. Many thanks and have a wonderful Christmas. All the best for 2025! Cheers Rory

"I hired Nick through last minute musicians as a Duo and they were great! Nic was able to play lots that got everyone dancing and joining in, he took requests and even did an impromptu duet with myself after a request from another guest. They played songs I had requested before the party brilliantly and gave the perfect country western vibe to our hoe down. He was so polite and respectful all evening and a genuinely lovely person. Last minute musicians were great with finding him as I was very particular about what I wanted for the party, they sent lots of options and searched high and low till I was happy with my choice to go with Nick. Thank you all"

"Fuego were simply the best and we couldn't have imagined any other musicians we'd rather had danced to at the end of our special day. They were very helpful and keen to discuss the playlist before the big day as well as confirm timings for set up and their sets. They listened to our ideas and made excellent recommendations. On the day, they arrived promptly (despite the wedding being in a field in the middle of nowhere!) and set up quietly in the background. We were able to time it so we could use their mic for our speeches which was very handy. All the members of the band were very polite and friendly. The music they produced was just fantastic and we had so many amazing comments about them. They played a mixture of classics and contemporary songs which allowed everyone to get going onto the dance floor in no time. Noelle’s voice is just wow and the Latin covers are sublime. If you want to party the night away with a fun, friendly band who have a unique Latin flare I'd definitely recommend hiring these guys. "
