Frequently Asked Questions

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

The biggest gig I have performed at was the LG Arena with our band. The best is hard to chose between some spectacular weddings with great people, or cosy jazz clubs throughout the UK.


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

Stevie Wonder if I had to pick one, his music has influenced so many peoples lives. Stevie and Quincy Jones changed music as we know it


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

I have been performing to groups of people since the age of 5. Over 15 years worth of professional experience playing paid gigs on either saxophone or piano.


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

Weddings, private party's and Jazz clubs.


How long do you perform for?

I usually perform 2 x 45 minute sets for private functions but weddings often the full day.


Do you offer a discount?

Apologies, I do not offer any discount.

My rate reflects not only the quality of service, but also the care, experience, and dedication I invest into every event. I strive to bring professionalism and a personal touch to ensure your event is seamless, memorable, and truly exceptional.

However if multiple services are required I offer 10% discount when booking two services together such as Wedding Breakfast and Drinks Reception.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

My typical setup time is roughly 30 minutes.


Wedding couple usually book me for the whole day, which is a discounted rate on some services.

I usually get booked for 2 x 45 minute sets for a private function, party or corporate event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes if its dry, or has cover for my electrical equipment and myself.


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

I usually stick with my tried and tested set list, but upon booking I can learn 2 new songs included in the price. (more than a months notice is required to learn new music is each song takes a few days to perfect for a performance)


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My google reviews are available to read online, but clients and their guests are always very pleased with my performances.


Can you perform our first dance?

I certainly can! Please give me plenty of notice so I can learn it perfectly for you and your guests.


Are you flexible with performance times

I am indeed. I try to be as flexible as possible with my performance times even if that means I play at 11am, then wait around until 9pm for the last performance.
