"Kieran was a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony – he really lifted it up and made it very special. He was very reliable and professional (he even got there before I did!) and he was completely stress free to work with; he was also able to work with the venue’s odd rules on seating. He learned a song special to us and played it beautifully. Highly recommended. "

"Rory and his colleagues played at my husbands 40th birthday party. This was held on a summer evening at home for around 60 people. Having live music totally transformed the night. Rorys band created a really unique atmosphere. The music was relaxed and subtle, which meant that the conversation could flow, but so enjoyable to listen to that you didnt want it to end. I would love to have the opportunity to hear him play again and I would not hesitate to engage him for another occasion."

"What a great experience. Ruben and his crew made everything easy. Sound was great and they were experts at MC with names and presentation. I would recommend Korsage Events for any event that needs music and peace of mind!"

"Dance mania, New York style. Pure unadulterated dance floor grace, a bit gritty with a pile of swing. Recommended!"

"Thank you so much for performing for us. You created such a wonderful atmosphere for our drinks reception, it felt like we were in Italy rather than Kent with the sparkling wine and sunshine. We had the pleasure of Rory playing the saxophone at our wedding drinks reception at a Winery in Kent, and in the glorious sunshine we couldve mistaken it for Italy. The vibe that Rory created was wonderful, the song choices were excellent and Rory was great at incorporating our requests. We have had great feedback from our guests and have been sent videos of people having a little dance. I wasnt sure whether to stretch our wedding budget for a saxophonist but now I just wish we had booked Rory for longer!"

"Daniel Martinez was at The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight performing his “20th Anniversary of Flamenco” concert to an enthusiastic audience who had filled the venue pretty much to capacity. Born and raised in Cordoba, Andalucia, this performer, composer and award winning guitarist started his professional flamenco studies at the age of 7. Daniel’s flamenco journey was to take him another 14 years of study at the Royal Conservatoire, and the opportunity to perform in some of the best tablaos (venues) in Cordoba. A move to Scotland has seen Danial Martinez make Edinburgh his new home, and tonight’s performance is part of an ongoing goal in life to not only keep true to the original ethos of Flamenco, but also to develop his own music and projects whilst bringing the living and breathing spirit of this art for to new audiences. This evening’s performance was split into two very distinct performances. The first half with Daniel Martinez performing solo on guitar and playing work from some of the great Flamenco guitarists who have influenced his own work over the years, including amongst others, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucía and Rafael Riqueni. Watching and listening to Daniel Martinez play guitar is in itself a lesson in his art, as his ability to perform the many challenging techniques that flamenco guitar requires to a very high standard is obvious, but this alone is never going to be enough, and something else has to happen for the spirit of this music to really work its magic, some connection that lets the performer become almost a conduit for the music, and Daniel Martinez has that elusive connection. The final performance of the first half “Baile por Rondena” (Dance for Rondena) was composed by Daniel Martinez and highlighted the interpretive performance skills of dancer Gabriela Pouso. It was perhaps here that we, the audience, got to get a little glimpse into the true spirit of flamenco as Daniel Martinez followed in the footsteps of Gabriela on guitar, along the way improvising his performance to match hers in rhythm, volume and expression with the two performers becoming almost one at times. This performance was a taster for a new project by Daniel Martinez and the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, “Andalucia”, and the full show will be performed at The Usher Hall accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday 8 Feb 2023. With this new show, Daniel Martinez is expanding upon his award winning “Art of Believing” work. The second half of the performance was very traditional in format featuring flamenco singing, plus of course more interpretive music and dance from Gabriela Pouso and Daniel Martinez. This show, for me, was a learning experience, a chance to find out more about how singers, dancers and guitarists individually express their own “flamenco spirit”, but also join together to create a performance that is rhythmically mesmerising whilst at the same time telling a story in performance arts.
