"Many thanks for making our conference dinner for the Bio-Sensing Technology Conference go with a swing. The Trio really set the right mood for the event and we were impressed that you even managed to get some of our more staid delegates up on the dance floor. We will certainly be in touch again next time we need a first rate live band for one of our events." Gill Heaton, Bio-sensing Technology Conference secretary
I just want to say how wonderful Saturday went and that I had so many wonderful comments regarding the band. Mum and Dad thought the music was spot on and thoroughly enjoyed the day; they were quite overwhelmed! I couldn’t have asked for the day to go any better. Thank you so much, the numbers you played sounded great and I know you had worked on these prior to the day – it is much appreciated. Please thank Frank and Paul for us too. The hotel asked if they could have your details as the Restaurant Manager thought that it would be good to have your contact details in case any other guests asked for similar music. So, once again, many thanks – we all thought you did a marvellous job and we all had a great day. I would not hesitate to recommend you at any time. Paula Coolman (private function client)
[Trio plus sax player Chuck Lloyd]"Thank-you for playing at my party on Saturday, the music was marvellous. The evening was all I wanted it to be. I have had many letters saying: 'Great music' 'fantastic entertainment' 'magical music' 'music was magnificent'. Thank-you." Anne May, private function client
[Trio plus singer James Studds]
"Rory and his jazz trio together with singer James Studds came to entertain us at a large outdoor party. They were brilliant. Well organised - friendly - playing the odd request - not too loud and received massive plaudits from our friends. Would I recommend them - too right I would - thanks Rory."
