"We booked Rory for our daughter's 21st where he played the piano for a relaxed drinks reception in the house, followed by sax working with the DJ in a much more lively party setting afterwards over at our annexe. Rory blended in perfectly in both settings, with relaxed sets being played on the piano followed by very engaged, immersive sets with the sax on the dance floor with our guests. He really just gets on with his thing and really made the event that extra special and received a ton of compliments from some very happy guests. We would whole heartedly recommend."
Damon, Rory @ Private House, Little Waltham, Chelmsford, Essex, November, 2023 "Rory’s performance was incredible! Much enjoyed by everyone and we loved the seamless change from flute, to vocals, to sax!"
Sophie, Stroud Subscription Rooms, Rory @ The Subscription Rooms, Stroud, Gloucestershire, November, 2023 "I heard Rory playing an impromptu set at the Long Table and I was blown away with his performance. Extremely talented on many instruments, he got everybody dancing and a really fun guy. I'd recommend him to get the party started with the talent!"
Alice Hodge Designs, Rory @ The Long Table, Stroud, Gloucestershire, September, 2023 We absolutely loved having you perform at our wedding so thank you :)
"Rory played at our wedding in London and was such a great choice for our big day. He was really easy to communicate with in the lead up which meant all our requests were performed on the day. Everyone commented what a lovely addition Rory was for when our guests arrived and into the post ceremony drinks reception, creating the exact atmosphere we had hoped for. Thanks Rory for helping make our day extra special." Zoe, Wedding, Rory @ The Fable, London (Farringdon), August, 2021 "Diáspora provided a great set for our College staff party. Delightful to work with, highly professional and terrific at creating a unique vibe with our audience. High quality music making, energetic and plenty of chutzpah, we would be delighted to have them back."

"I booked Rory to play at a Rotary Club of London event in 2019. He arrived in time, played as discussed and was an all round terrific success, liked by all the attendees."
Tim MacAndrews, Past President, Rotary Club of London, Rory @ The Chesterfield Hotel, London (Mayfair), May, 2019 "Rory played at our anniversary party. He is an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist. He impressed everyone with his playing and singing and he was the talk of the evening. Live music adds a special dimension to an event and there is no better person to provide this than Rory. He is reliable, flexible and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending him. We look forward to booking Rory again for all our future family events."
Nicola Spivack, Wedding Anniversary, Rory @ Private House, Stebbing, Essex, July, 2023 "Rory headlined the annual Painswick Feast Festival 2023. He created a lovely ambience with beautiful Bossa Nova arrangements complemented with saxophones, flute, and vocals in both Portuguese and English, bringing the sunshine out of all who attended. Many visitors and locals stopped, listened, and picnicked to the music of Rory. Weeks later, and he is still being talked about! Rory was a huge success and already booked again for 2024 through public demand."
Gemma, Painswick Feast, Rory @ St. Mary's Churchyard, Painswick, Gloucestershire, September, 2023 "Rory entertained at my 50th birthday in our large garden. He brought all his equipment and was ready to start straight away. He was a multi-instrumentalist, and I couldn’t believe it when he got out both saxophone and flute. He played beautiful music with a professional, original backing track, I noted, and it was wonderful to have that live element. He also changed costumes half way through which we were quite surprised and amused at; I thought that this really added to the high standard of his professionalism and the variety of what he offered. He was very easy to talk to and I would definitely book him again. Even the neighbours next door asked if the music was live as it sounded so special and they wanted to come and listen."
