Becca can also make tailored Spotify
playlists for your event for
a Sax and DJ style party vibe
and has many pre-made
playlists to choose from!
Becca can also play alongside DJs!
I need access to 1 plug socket and 1 parking space.
If playing solo sax and backing tracks in a restaurant, I need to be a little bit away from the closest table so as not to be too loud for the closest table.
If playing with a DJ I need to be able to plug in via either my XLR or jack lead into their microphone input on their desk.
I require shelter from rain so my equipment doesn't get wet and shelter from sunlight for my laptop for solo sax and backing tracks gigs.
Yes I have a Roland Street Cube EX speaker for solo sax and backing tracks gigs, which is plenty loud enough for most settings.
If it's in a hard to find the location it's always good to know extra info or any directions that help with load in if I'm a surprise for the bride/groom/hen!
Yes I am happy to play Spotify playlists during sets. This can either be sent to me prior to the event, or I am happy to use one of my pre-made playlists.
Best gig I've done was a Sax & DJ gig for the British army, with visiting international regiments!
Saxophonists who inspire me include: Yolanda Brown, Maceo Parker, Candy Dulfer and Charlie Parker.
My favourite song to play at Sax and DJ / Solo sax and backing tracks gigs is 'Jubel' by Klingande, featuring the amazing Snake Davis on the original sax solo!
I started gigging and teaching while still at University and my performances have developed from there.
I've performed at hundreds of events in the UK at abroad.
I love playing at all sorts of events, weddings and hen dos are definitely amongst my favourites as everyone is in an excitable, happy mood and there's always a great vibe!
For solo sax and backing tracks gigs I can be set up within 15 mins, but I like to arrive 1 hour early to allow for any delays at the venue.
Yes, but I require shelter from rain so my equipment doesn't get wet and shelter from sunlight for my laptop for solo sax and backing tracks gigs.
Yes. You can choose from my set repertoire list. I am happy to learn one special request.
High energy performer, with a vast repertoire to choose from to tailor events to each client's requirements.
I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event please let me know. On occasion I might have another booking before or afterwards, which means flexibility is a little more tricky.
Yes :)
