We need a parking space close to the venue for easy set up. A power supply to plug in our equipment.
Yes, we have our own PA Speakers, bass speakers, microphones, cables, mixing desk and lighting!
Any clear directions to help us find the venue and best place to load our equipment from.
Yes, we're happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between sets. We are more than happy to pick the songs but happy for the client to choose the music.
The best gig was performing on New Years Eve with Ronan Keating.
Our favourite artists include Harry Styles, Jimmy Sax, Whitney Houston and Ed Sheeran . The best song of all time is Dancing Queen by ABBA.
We met working on a cruise ship together, and since then have performed in the Alps Ski Season, theatre shows across the UK and Westend, other cruise ships and lots of weddings and parties!
We love so many different types of events but our favourites to play are weddings. We love being part of someone's special day bringing the energy and seeing everyone have fun!
We usually require around 60–90 minutes to set up and soundcheck before the performance begins.
This allows us to set up our equipment, including sound and lighting, ensuring everything is ready for a smooth and high-quality performance. If access to the venue is limited we may need a little extra time, which we’ll always confirm with you in advance.
Yes, we are happy to play outside. All we would need is a power supply close by and some shade for those warm sunny days.
Yes — we’re happy to tailor the music to your preferences.
Before your event, we’ll go through your must-play tracks and any styles or artists you love, and we’ll build the set around that.
Previous clients most commonly describe our performances as high-energy. They often highlight how the live sax elevates the DJ set, creating a unique atmosphere that keeps the dancefloor full all night. We’re frequently praised for reading the crowd perfectly, blending chilled vibes with peak-time energy, and delivering a seamless, professional experience from start to finish.
Yes it's optional with no extra cost! The Sax and DJ is the main act with the guitar playing those iconic guitar solos. If you don't want guitar just let us know.
