Dave Saxophonist for Weddings, Events & TV David Angol AKA Dave Blaze is a pro saxophonist for events, parties & TV.

My setup requires minimal technical requirements—just access to a power source to connect my sound system.

I provide high-quality sound equipment; however, lighting is not included.

It is important to confirm whether the venue has a sound limiter in place, as this may affect the performance.

Yes, I offer a DJ service using Spotify, accompanied by live saxophone backing.

The highlight of my career so far was performing at the Montreux Jazz Festival, where I had the privilege of playing to an audience of 40,000. It was an incredible experience to share the stage with the award-winning Blue Note group US3, and to be part of such a legendary festival.

My musical influences span a wide range of genres and eras, with my biggest influence being John Coltrane. Other key figures who have shaped my style include jazz legends like Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. I also draw inspiration from artists such as Tom Waits, Rickie Lee Jones, and Joni Mitchell. Additionally, classical composers like Borodin, Rachmaninoff, Sartre, and Debussy have had a significant impact on my musical approach.

"I am self-taught, but I was fortunate to receive invaluable lessons and guidance from renowned musicians, who provided me with great advice and practice materials. I later pursued formal education, earning a jazz degree with a 2:1 upper-class score. With over 25 years of gigging experience, I have had the privilege of performing in a variety of settings, continually honing my skills and expanding my musical knowledge.

My favourite type of event to perform at is one where the audience is fully engaged, enjoying the performance, and immersed in the energy of the occasion. Whether it’s a wedding, a party, or a dedicated jazz gig, I thrive in environments where the crowd is dancing, connecting with the music, and truly vibing with the atmosphere.

I have my own PA and wireless microphone and sax sound effects machine and performance times are from 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 1 hour sets (price varied) with 30 min break but both set to be played within 2 hours
