"I wish to thank you for your recommendation of Rory to perform with Holly (percussion & vocals) & Julian (guitar) in a Latin jazz trio for my wifes special birthday a couple of weekends ago. They were brilliant. A great musical backdrop to a very successful garden party and a real hit with all our guests. We will recommend them without hesitation. Thank you again."

"My band Tall Bones hired Mr.Madigan to play two saxophone solos on our album “Sweets in the City” and he did a fantastic job! He recorded everything on his own remotely, had a great sound, and had everything on a grid so it was easy to implement into our recordings! 10/10 would hire him again! Fantastic player, extremely professional, and a passionate guy! Hire him! "

"Groove 'N Motion performed for our wedding in August 2021 and they were incredible at every level. GnM had excellent communication, were affordable, were accommodating and understanding, played an amazing and wide-ranging setlist, and rocked with high energy all through the night. Our wedding guests, young and old, have said over and over how much they loved our dance floor and that GnM was the best wedding band they had ever seen. We agree and could not recommend them any higher. Scott, our main point of contact, was very communicative and accommodating, including when we had to reschedule our wedding because of covid. He also had a great ability to give advice and perspective from GnM's significant experience playing weddings and large events while still taking our more specific requests to heart. For example, GnM offered a range of modern and classic songs on a designated setlist but also enabled us to make many of our own requests of favorite songs not on their list. They also allowed us to send family to see them rehearse before we booked them because we at the time lived out of state. And they traveled from Denver to our venue in Salida, CO and were great sports about making the trip. It is important to make clear that GnM is not just a random group of musicians who are occasionally pulled together to play a wedding (like we discovered many commercial wedding bands can be). Groove 'N Motion is a true band with great continuity and a range of talents. It's clear they love playing music together and have fantastic rapport. GnM was amazing during our reception. They have their own sound mixer, who helpfully made sure the music never got too loud for our older guests. They played approx 3.5-4 hours for our reception and kept everyone out on the dance floor. The only problem we had was that so many guests wanted to stay for the music that everyone waited to take the last shuttle home! GnM was also excellent for our ceremony songs (a couple songs for guest seating, processional, and recessional) and provided a nice jazz quartet during our cocktail hour. These guys are talented and have range. Being able to rock a country song that is a family favorite and then soon after play some true funk hits is not something just any band could pull off. GnM did it without any problem. If you want to make sure that you have a wedding band that can perform songs in your setlist for all your guests to enjoy, look no further than Groove 'N Motion. You will not be disappointed. "

"We were delighted to invite GemmaOnSax to play on the St Edmundsbury Cathedral stage at the 2025 East Anglian Beer and Cider Festival. The mellow and sometimes haunting sound of Gemma's playing was sublime and with the wonderful cathedral acoustics, she added another level to our entertainment this year! Kevin Sutterby, CAMRA Deputy Organiser. "

"Kathmandu Post: "Pusch says his passion for jazz is not about money. Instead it is a philosophy …" Time Out New Delhi: "There have been many jazz musicians – saxophonists John Coltrane and George Brooks to name a couple – who have been intrigued by the melodic and rhythmic complexities of Hindustani classical music. Saxophonist Rainer Pusch, how!ever, belongs to the rare breed of Western musicians who have been influenced by Carnatic music …" The Hindu: "Rainer Pusch´s solo attempts managed to capture the feel of jazz without digressing the feel from the raga pattern …" Jazzpodium: "Überzeugend hingegen geriet die Premiere von KARUNA Kshetra. Puschs warmer Tenorton versteht sich bestens mit demkarnatischen Sänger Manickam Yogeswaram …" Mannheimer Morgen: "Früher war die Musik mein Leben. Heute muss die Musik mein Leben widerspiegeln, sagt Rainer Pusch, ein Mann, der zwischen Madras, Paris und Boston viel erlebt hat …"

"We’ve been lucky enough to host Evie Ingles at our pub Ye Olde Greene Manne, Batchworth Heath on three separate occasions, and every performance has been nothing short of fantastic. Evie brings an incredible energy to the stage, soothing vocals with her talent on the saxophone (which is very very impressive each time!!). Her covers are always on theme, fresh, exciting and nostalgic. Each time she performs, Evie has a way of drawing the crowd in and getting them on their feet, dancing and singing along. Her talent is undeniable, and it's no surprise that our guests keep asking when she'll be back. If you're looking for a night of great music and unforgettable vibes, Evie Ingles is an absolute must-see at any event. "

"Luigi è stato il momento clou assoluto per noi e i nostri ospiti. Ha reso la serata indimenticabile con la sua musica e tutti hanno ballato su ogni canzone. Ha suonato anche a cena, regalandoci un'atmosfera unica. La comunicazione con lui è stata molto semplice e calorosa e possiamo solo consigliarlo a tutti!!"

"Today, I heard Doug Earley play music on his Saxophone at the Claremont Farmer's Market. I didn't want to ever leave. The music that comes out of Doug's saxophone is the sweetest and most beautiful I've ever heard. He and his music are magical and spiritual! Immediately, I wanted to hire him for an event so I could keep hearing him play. If you ever hear Doug Earley play his saxophone, you'll have a hard time leaving, too. You'll want to hire him for your event too so you can keep hearing him play music on his saxophone. "
