We absolutely LOVED The Rumour Trio. They sounded sensational and were really happy, positive people who worked around our late start to the wedding reception. The Rumour Trio played a great selection of songs that suited us and our guests, many of whom were rarely off the dance floor! Their willingness to also learn a song for our first dance was greatly appreciated – it sounded amazing too. Karyn and Marty displayed such professionalism, but also their fun personalities and engagement with our guests was obvious. They were even happy to play an extra 3 songs at the end of the night, so we could keep dancing on the grass with sparklers!! Such a great group and a spectacular night! Thanks The Rumour Trio.

We were very fortunate to have the Rumour play at a recent work function. They were truly professional in regards to booking and setting up and thoroughly entertaining throughput the night. They were hassle free to deal with and due to their significant musical expertise were able to cater to a wide range of musical tastes. Everyone had a terrific night. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
