About / Biography

I have played just about every genre of music, so jazz, funk, house, soul and rock are no problem. I can work with a DJ or use my own high-quality backing tracks and sound system. I play alto and tenor saxophones both in bands and as a solo performer.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

One 13 amp plug point required


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I have a high quality sound system with either 1 or 2 x 700w speakers, or a 300w speaker for smaller venues. I do not carry any lights.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know the best load in access points, the rough size of the room and number of expected people at the event


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

I have Spotify to play background music between sets, if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I played for a Norwegian headlining band in the 80s and we played for the Oslo students graduation and headed the parade on Norway’s national day, with Katrina and the Waves as our main support band at the gig that night.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My influences are Charlie Parker, Michael Becker, Chris Potts, Dave Koz, David Sanborn and many other sax players. I don’t think the greatest song of all time has ben written yet.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started gigging after leaving the Royal Northern College of Music in 1985 and spent 1988-99 with touring theatre companies, before starting a regular teaching job so I could concentrate on more local gigs


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I love playing at any event where the guests enjoy themselves, no matter the amount of people or the size of the venue

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Arrival: 45 minutes before the performance
Set up / pack down: 20 minutes


Are you happy to perform outside?

I’m happy to perform outside as long as there is shade to play in and cover in case of rain. I also need a single 13amp power point


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

With enough notice, clients can request a particular set list from my extensive song list, or if they have any favourite songs that are not in my repertoire, I will do my best to accommodate.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers have described me as an excellent musician with great music to get people dancing
