"Rory put on after show performances for Manchester Camerata at the Bridgewater Hall and at the Royal Northern College of Music respectively. I am pleased to say that both performances went successfully; Rory brought a tasteful cosmopolitan selection of Brazilian tunes and acoustic Latin, blending well-known arrangements with original compositions, which created a buzzing vibe and went down very well with our audiences, keeping them at the bar all evening! Great fun and would definitely book for future events."

"Hi Fernando, Thank you SO MUCH for your emails!! We just got home a few days ago from Portugal and were pretty disconnected for the remainder of our trip so just seeing these now! First, we cannot thank YOU and your band enough for being so lovely to work with and for bringing our wedding day music vision perfectly to life. We knew you would be wonderful, but we were completely blown away. We really cannot thank you enough, and are just so happy with everything. It was the most magical day for us and the guests (everybody is still raving about the band), and you were a huge contribution to that. My dad would have loved to play with you! Maybe one day in the future when we go back to Portugal ? Also, thank you so much for sending the video montage!! The one thing Frank and I were regretting from wedding day was not having more time to enjoy the band during the cocktail reception, so we nearly cried a bit seeing your email and the video. Thank you so much. We will cherish these memories forever and will continue to enjoy the video. Frank says we need you all to fly here and repeat the set so we can enjoy it fully from start to finish ? We truly cannot thank you enough and words do not even begin to fully express our gratitude to you and the band, but it is a start! Anyways, thank you again for reaching out and for your kind words, and we will definitely reach out for any future events we may have in Portugal! I'm going through the photos still but will send you any of the band soon! Warmest regards, Aviana & Frank"

"Amazing band. The vibe in room was great with their music. Very professional musicians and the voice of the singer is astonishing! Clear communication and they even took care about a playlist in between the live music. "

"Rory played for our clients open-air Brazilian carnival summer barbeque. Combining swinging samba and Bossa Nova with up-tempo popular tunes and funky originals, he went down a treat with our guests, creating a festive atmosphere and keeping them drinking and dancing until the embers glowed. The standard of musicianship was excellent and the level of professionalism very high. A great success!"

"We booked Rory for our daughters 21st where he played the piano for a relaxed drinks reception in the house, followed by sax working with the DJ in a much more lively party setting afterwards over at our annexe. Rory blended in perfectly in both settings, with relaxed sets being played on the piano followed by very engaged, immersive sets with the sax on the dance floor with our guests. He really just gets on with his thing and really made the event that extra special and received a ton of compliments from some very happy guests. We would whole heartedly recommend."

"We were very pleased that we hired Rory. We were particularly impressed with communication before the day and it was great to speak to him. He was very friendly, approachable and accommodating. On the day, his performance was soulful and classy and he very closely followed our song preferences. We would thoroughly recommend Rory. Please let him how how much we appreciated his performance."
