"I had the opportunity to work with Rory at a recent wedding. He is a really great guy and was a pleasure to work with. I was impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. Before the event he made contact to make sure everything was going to be in place for the day. He left nothing to chance and this is the type of professional I like working with. As the DJ I had the opportunity to play with him on set and he was brilliant. His knowledge and ability to adapt to all styles of music was phenomenal. He really added pizzaz to the music! Rory was a real pleasure to work with and I hope we have another opportunity to work together again."

"I am happy to confirm that you and your colleagues on the sax, bass and piano indubitably added greatly to the atmosphere of the evening. Lots of the guests commented very enthusiastically on how much they had enjoyed the music. My feeling is that you added warmth, sparkle, and a sense of celebration to the evening, and the range and style of play was perfect to modulate between grabbing peoples attention and providing harmonious background, as appropriate for the stage in the proceedings. I was also appreciative of how flexible you were about the times of taking a break so that there was always music except during the brief interlude for speeches. I was delighted to have found you through Music Students for Hire and would definitely recommend not only you and your colleagues but Music Students for Hire too."

"We had Rory play sax at our garden party for c. 100 guests in July. It was a hit! Although, I booked only a few days in advance it all worked out very well. Booking team was very supportive. Rory connected in advance to get a sense of the type of party, age and help decide the right playlist. On the day of the event, he came on time to set things up and was flexible to accommodate our requests. I am very happy with my decision to have live music at the party and have Rory take care of it. Highly recommended!"

"The Brubeck/Desmond Experience commanded a full house at The Bulls Head in Barnes, a premier London jazz venue. We have booked then again for this year. Cool and realistic to famous The Brubeck Quartet."

"Rory played at our NYE party, he was professional and had a wide range of jazz and swing to play for us. All of our guests enjoyed his music and the staff did too! If we have any events in the future where a superb saxophonist is needed, I will be going straight to Rory! Thank you so much and we hope to see you again! Myles & the hideout team."

"Performing at our private event was such a wonderful experience. From our first messages to the last song of the evening, he was professional, kind, and easy to work with. His piano playing was elegant, expressive, and created exactly the mood we were hoping for. We were thoroughly impressed with his extensive set list and will definitely invite him back for future gatherings. I highly recommend this band."

"Train Jazz Band was friendly and professional from the first contact. They play a very good smooth jazz, with swing and groove, and they really added energy to our day. There wasn't a guest who wasn't impressed by the Train Jazz Band. Really recommendable!"

"Dan was great. He arrived in a timely fashion, his setup was easy and didn't require much space. He played on the outdoor patio at Point Cavallo where we hosted a fund raising event for Dr. Vivek Murthy, Surgeon General. I'd hire him again!"

"Last summer, we were delighted with the performance of saxophonist / clarinettist Rory and pianist exploring the music of George Gershwin. This summer, Rory enchanted the audience with his fusion of acoustic Latin with Brazilian music, jazz and soul and the arrangements were tastefully orchestrated with guitar and percussion. It made for an engaging performance. We hope to have him back again soon!"
