"It was a pleasure to have the Nalis at our wedding and all the guests complimented us. Right from the start they proved to be professional and available to our every request, for example with the song of the first dance which they played of our choice outside of their repertoire. Very good and highly recommended."

"My wedding in Amalfi was pure magic, thanks to this brilliant chaps. They started with elegant acoustic tunes during the ceremony and then brought incredible energy to the party after dinner. At one point, a power cut hit the venue — but they didn’t miss a beat and kept everyone singing along acoustically until the lights came back on. It turned into one of the most memorable moments of the night! Highly Recommended, thanks Giuseppe!"

Thank you so much, Daniel! What an incredible night that was in Amalfi — I’ll never forget it. The setting, the atmosphere, and the energy from you and your guests were amazing. I still remember when a few of your friends jumped in with us for an impromptu sing-along — such a fun moment! It was truly a joy to play for you. Wishing you both all the very best! – Giuseppe

"Roger was just a delight, brilliant communication from start to finish. Arrived on time and set up so discreetly, played beautiful music throughout my 40th party and was just a genuinely lovely man. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. A brilliantly talented musician. "

"Hiring The Italian Soul & Jazz Band for our wedding in Venice was the best decision we made. Their smooth jazz and lively soul set the perfect tone for the entire celebration. Our guests still talk about the band months later! Highly recommended"

"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.

"We had the pleasure of using Roger for my son's wedding. Roger met with the bride and groom pre wedding to discuss what music they wanted. Not only did he help them choose songs that meant a lot to them he even learnt new songs that were personal to them. He really made the wedding personal and it was so special to have him play the bride down the aisle. I really recommend him if you're looking for a special event as he knows how to make magical music to suit each individual."

"Great success at scrumptious Tea Rooms in Urmston on Mother’s Day. A huge thank you goes to Roger who played the guitar at each of the 3 sittings as a lovely back drop to a wonderful day. He really did add a special element to the whole event . Thank you once again x Julie Scrumptious "

"Duo strepitoso hanno suonato per la cerimonia in chiesa chitarra e flauto con brani di repertorio classico, Chiara ha anche accompagnato cantando uno dei brani che avevamo inserito nel libretto, una voce fantastica. Hanno poi continuato durante l'aperitivo con musiche brasiliane ed hanno reso il tutto così dolce e speciale. Veramente consigliati! Lucia e Marco"

"The combination of virtuosity and emotion in André's playing is rare to find. Every note that comes out of his guitar seems to carry feeling and history. He is a complete musician, with a vast repertoire and impeccable playing. I recommend him to any lover of live music!"
