Join us for an exhilarating summer evening of live music, delicious food, and vibrant community spirit. Immerse yourself in the captivating sounds of Brazilian and Latin rhythms with Rory's smooth saxophone, flute, and vocals.

Rory's music effortlessly blends cool Samba and Bossa Nova with the fiery energy of Latin and salsa. His performances feature a dynamic mix of classic songs, infectious dance beats, funky grooves, jazz improvisation, and lyrics in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. This uplifting and unifying music celebrates the rich diversity of Latin American rhythms. Having headlined a 5-date residency at London's Jazz Café with his 12-piece ensemble, Diáspora, and performing across the country with Diáspora's baby band, Fiesta Latina, Rory brings his extensive expertise to The Long Table for a thrilling one-man band performance!

Like many humans, I identify patterns and discern order from chaos. I set the track order in stone back in 2019. Or rather, it presented itself to me.

Most of the tracks fall into natural pairs.

Tracks 1 Santo Mío + 2 Like A Bird are spirituals. 🕯️🦜

Tracks 3 Mañana + 4 Calle Verano were originally people-watching songs about strolling around town during the daytime. 🚲⚾️

Tracks 5 Come On Down + 6 Summer Luxury are about summer holidays. Come On Down describes a blissful experience / Summer Luxury describes a stressful experience. 🐬🌊

Tracks 7 Castillo En El Aire + 8 Mística are fairytale songs about a woman, a princess revered as a castle. 🏰✈️

Tracks 9 Escalera Al Infierno + 10 Original Rebel are “fiery” 2:3 clave, and describe vivid sensory experiences, with Escalera’s extreme temperature environments, and Original Rebel’s primary colours. 🌋🎭

There is also an internal symmetry.

Track 1 Santo Mío + 12 A Guataca are Santería-inspired. Track 2 Like A Bird + 11 No Vuelvas Nunca Más are female 3:2 clave. Track 3 Mañana + 10 Original Rebel are about mental health.
