About / Biography

The seductive and very popular sound of the sax always delivers a real point of difference and brings that extra touch of class to any event.

I am fully self contained and require the minimum of space, with high quality, custom made backing tracks, adding the extra special atmosphere to any event - anything from a corporate event to a sit-down meal with friends, I provide a mixture of jazz, latin, blues, soul and funk (from Stan Getz to Kenny Gee) to suit whatever mood you want.

I supply all my own sound and lighting equipment and my fee includes all of the travel time and expense, recorded music for any breaks between sets (if required) Public Liability Insurance, PAT certificates I can play inside or outside, with or without a power supply.

I've travelled all over the world performing, and have appeared with, or for, a vast collection of international artists - Shirley Bassey, Barry Manilow, Tom Jones, Johnny Mathis, Neil Sedaka, George Harrison, Alison Moyet, Gladys Knight and most recently Frank Sinatra Jr.

House musician for three years on Central Weekend (a live T.V. show broadcast from Birmingham on Friday nights) as well as many performances in the house band for Pebble Mill at One.
I've worked in the West End of London for over 20 years, the last show being Chicago (Alto, Soprano Sax, Clarinet & Piccolo) other West End Shows being:
Copacabana (Original orchestra member - Alto Sax, Clarinet, Flute & Piccolo)
Some Like It Hot (Original orchestra member - Alto Sax, Clarinet, Flute & Piccolo)
42nd Street - Alto Sax, Clarinet & Flute
The Tommy Steele Show - Baritone Sax, Clarinet & Flute
Annie Get Your Gun - Alto Sax, Clarinet & Flute
Grease - Tenor Sax, Clarinet & Flute
Les Miserables - Clarinet & Alto Sax

For larger functions I am able to provide a smaller Dixieland band up to a Full Big Band (from seven musicians to the seventeen piece Sounds of Swing Orchestra)

I have, since the age of 16, been writing, arranging and composing music all in a professional capacity, most of my compositions have been published by Stanza Music, some have also been recorded and/or broadcast by the BBC Radio Big Band, the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and The Sounds of Swing Orchestra, as an arranger I have been involved in rescoring or arranging music for various professional musicals - 42nd Street, Barnum, Some Like It Hot, Annie Get your Gun , and for the Festival Theatre Chichester - "Nymph Errant", a revamp of an old Cole Porter musical, my arrangements are currently available for hire in the U.S.A. through the Cole Porter Musical and Literary Property Trusts, "Cabaret" for which I did some re-scoring and arranging, and "My One and Only", which I completely re-scored also adding some new arrangements, this musical then transferred to the West End.
