Review Centre: Bossa Nova Bands

"Rory was incredibly professional, flexible and enthusiastic for our event. He played wonderfully, dressed up for our theme and brought so much enthusiasm which we all very much enjoyed. I would 100% recommend Rory for all future events as he went above and beyond (including playing the flute unexpectedly!) and is incredibly talented."

"Hi Rory. I cant 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."

"Very happy with the overall communication before the event & easy to liaise with you and confirm requirements, timings etc. You arrived early which was great to help get everything set up in time for the evening. The music itself was great and we had plenty of comments from people to say how much they enjoyed it & you played exactly the kind of music we were after and really felt the vibe of the room. You adapted to when we needed specific breaks during the meal for awards and was always a really smooth transition. Overall we were extremely happy with the service you offered and the performance in general. Would definitely repeat book if we had another similar need/event!"

"Rory headlined the annual Painswick Feast Festival 2023. He created a lovely ambience with beautiful Bossa Nova arrangements complemented with saxophones, flute, and vocals in both Portuguese and English, bringing the sunshine out of all who attended. Many visitors and locals stopped, listened, and picnicked to the music of Rory. Weeks later, and he is still being talked about! Rory was a huge success and already booked again for 2024 through public demand."

"Thank you so so much for performing at our wedding, it made the reception so special and many of our guests commented on how excellent your performance was. We were very pleased with Rory performing at our wedding. He was professional and easy to communicate with from the start, providing us with an incredible repertoire list for us to pick some of our favourite songs. Rory played these to a high standard on his saxophone with backing music, for the pleasure of our guests at the reception. This really added something extra special to our wedding reception, and many of our guests commented on his excellent performance. We would highly recommend Rory to anyone looking to hire a musician for weddings or similar events. We very much hope that we can use your services again in the future."

"Rory were a fantastic part of our recent 40th birthday celebration. Not only was the music excellent, they put a great deal of effort into finding and playing Jazz that fitted the era we asked for. Communication with the band in advance was easy and they were very helpful as we prepared for the night. On the night itself they were excellent. The music was perfect, professionally delivered and the band made our guests feel at ease and welcome on the dance floor. Thank you. Wed definitely recommend and use again."

"Last Wednesday evening arrived in Þorlákshöfn the Brazilian Jazz Singer Jussanam da Silva and her pianist Agnar Mar Magnusson. They are on tour through the Nordic countries, and began the journey with a concert in Iceland. The concert brought Bossa Nova, the Brazilian jazz, mixed with Pop songs. The concert it was very fun and kept the audience in ecstasy and restorative into the night after the concert. Those who missed the concert can breathe easy because Jussanam and Agnar will play a concert with the same program in the Tónlistarskóla Árnesinga next Saturday"
