"Rory played the saxophone at our wedding reception while our guests enjoyed canapes in the garden area. All aspects of his performance were extremely professional, the vibe was brilliant, and everyone was thoroughly entertained by his jazz and pop repertoire. Rory walked around the garden area which was fantastic as it enabled everyone sitting in different areas of the garden to enjoy the music. We would recommend Rory to anyone looking for an exemplary saxophonist at their wedding. Well never forget it. Thank you, Andrew and Heather."

"It was great to have Nene on piano at our wedding reception, and he actually learnt our favourite song! Then he nailed it on sax later that night alongside the DJ!"

"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.

"When I imagined my wedding, I wanted it to be magical, unique and special – in a garden, at night, filled with candles, with Frank Sinatra classics, among other greats, playing in the background. Thanks to David’s Jazz Band, this dream became a reality. From the very start, they were incredibly friendly, they adapted to what I was looking for, and the set list they suggested was simply perfect. Without a doubt, if I were to get married again, I would ask them to play at my wedding. Everyone who attended my wedding still remembers that jazz band. All the members are extraordinary, especially the two vocalists. There’s nothing quite like live music, and then when you look at the photos and, above all, the video, it brings back so many memories and emotions. They are definitely a safe bet."

"Rory created a wonderful ambience at our dinner party with his saxophone playing. Chilled and relaxed whilst still striking a lively, upbeat note, the choice of repertoire was perfect for our occasion."

"We had a wonderful time at Hampton Court House and the sound of your music floating out of that conservatory into the sunny courtyard as we launched into our celebrations is one of my happiest moments. Will certainly be in contact again if we have another special occasion as would love to hear you play again. ________"
