"We hired Rory at very short notice to perform at my Mothers Birthday Breakfast. The team were incredibly efficient and had our booking secure within a day. Rory arrived perfectly on time and set up quickly and independently. He played the saxophone beautifully and took note of our requests which really made the moment very special for us. Rory was incredibly professional and we look forward to hearing him play for us again soon."

"Nicola B. , data nozze: 18/09/2021 La ciliegina sulla torta! Questi sono tutto ciò che bisogna chiedere ad un matrimonio, super organizzati, dei professionisti assoluti. Eccezionali, gli invitati hanno ballato fino alla fine e si sono divertiti una sacco, alcuni degli invitati mi hanno chiesto di sposarmi almeno una volta al mese per fare una festa così! Una serata da urlo! I migliori sulla piazza sono loro. Il sax di Samantha ha entusiasmato tutti (una professionista impressionante) per non parlare del piano... Andrea è il numero 1, ci ha fatto saltare fino alla fine con un entusiasmo da paura. Complimenti a tutti, siete stati la ciliegina sulla torta. Inviato il 23/09/2021"

"Please can you thank Rory and the band for me as I didnt have chance to thank them personally yesterday... They were tremendous, and several people commented on how it just added the perfect finishing touch to the day. Hindley Hall have also asked for your details and I will pass them on. They were also very impressed with the musicians."

"I recently booked Rory through Last Minute Musicians for a Valentines Day event in our corporate building reception, specifically for his saxophone performance. Rory pleasantly surprised us with an additional performance on the flute, adding an extra layer of charm to the occasion. Sarah-Jane Morriss team efficiently managed the communication and follow-up, ensuring a seamless experience. From start to finish, Rorys professionalism and talent shone through, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. I wholeheartedly recommend Rory for any event requiring exceptional musical talent. His professionalism, versatility, and dedication make him a standout choice. Thank you, Rory, for making our event truly unforgettable."

"Jesper Hedegaard is almost more Brazilian than Danish. Since 1976, he has devoted his life to Brazilian music, has grown together with the part of it that builds a bridge to jazz. He is a well-known and treasured musician in Brazil and a tireless communicator of the rich Brazilian music in Denmark without, moreover, making a bigger being out of himself. It's the music - that's what it's all about. This is clearly reflected on his latest CD, a modest affair of just over half an hour. The beautiful trio playing with drummer Magno Bissoli and bassist Sidiel Vieira shows Hedegaard at home in the rich borderland between Brazilian and jazz. Apart from two of his own compositions, Jesper Hedegaard plays with a trio of compositions by Lúcio Alves, Ary Barroso, Tom Jobim, Bruno Martino and Bruno Brighetti. Beautiful and endearing with a restraint that helps build tension that sharpens attention. During the apparently effortless, elegantly swinging playing, a dialogue unfolds between the three musicians, which sharpens the desire for more than the record's 33 minutes. However, Bissoli is sometimes so discreet in his playing that he almost disappears. A pity, because here one of Brazil's best and most generous musicians could give the music more edge. It's a trio with great potential. Hopefully the three of them will continue together and make an announcement soon."

"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."

"Vanessa was fantastic! From the moment we reached out to her, she was extremely professional, kind, helpful, and quick to respond. She did an incredible job at our wedding - from the moment she started, she created an amazing vibe and had the guests feeling great. She really knew how to set the tone, and did a great job transitioning from a dinner time vibe, to the dance party. We loved what she did with our requests and she really made our wedding so special. She actually saved the night by fixing an audio issue that we were having! We are so grateful that Vanessa was a part of our special night and I would highly recommend her for any of your DJ needs!"
