Above prices do not include travel expenses. Prices are not really based on total playing time. I never take more than one booking per day. After preparation, travel, setting up, the sax-playing part is the bit I enjoy, so I am happy to play sax for at least 3 hours at any event. Prices are more based on the amount of different rooms /locations where I need to set up speaker systems. So if I were playing for 3 hours in one room, my price might actually be less than playing for only 1 hour split between 2 different rooms. The price for 3 parts of the day depends on location of the ceremony & whether weekday of weekend.

About / Biography

I'm a solo sax player with many years of experience playing smooth background music for weddings and events all over the UK.

My music is ideal for drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, hospitality functions, meet & greet events.

I have a very broad and extensive repertoire of popular songs from 60s to 00s. An emphasis on well-known songs with a warm cheerful sound but also mellow and unobtrusive.

I play live sax with my own self-produced sax-friendly backing tracks. I play all the instruments on most tracks, so everything you hear me.
I play everything from memory, (I don't stand behind a music stand.)

I have a clip-on radio mic so I can wonder around whilst playing.
I have multiple speaker systems for different rooms / locations – all set up before event begins.
My battery-powered speaker system enables me to play outside without need for power supply.
