Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a performance space of at least 3 meters x 2 meters, and I require access to 1 x 13 amp power socket.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I can provide a professional PA system suitable for small to medium-sized events. For larger venues, I may need to discuss additional sound support with the client. I can also bring a simple lighting rig if required.


What information do you require about a venue?

I’ll need clear directions to the venue. It’s also important to know if the venue has a sound limiter, and if so, what level it’s set at.


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

Yes, I can provide background music before, between, and after my sets. This can be from a pre-prepared Spotify playlist or a custom playlist chosen by the client.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of my the best venues I've ever played was in Norway at Hulen, the oldest rock club in Northern Europe located in an old World War II bomb shelter built into the side of a mountain. Playing at Engen Restaurant in Bergen for a wedding was also a highlight - the energy on the dancefloor when I combined sax with DJing was unforgettable.


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

I was raised on Northern Soul, so Edwin Starr and Jr. Walker & The All Stars will always have a special place in my heart. My favourite artist is Otis Redding, and the greatest song has to be Mr Brightside at the end of a great dance party.


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

I started gigging while I was at university, playing with different bands and projects. From there, I built my solo act with saxophone and backing tracks, and later added DJing alongside my playing. Since then, I’ve performed at weddings, parties, bars, and events across the UK and abroad, including Norway and Malta.


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

I love weddings - they’re such a special celebration, and the energy from guests is unbeatable. There’s nothing better than being part of creating those unforgettable moments on the dancefloor. That said, I also really enjoy intimate events where the sax can bring a stylish, chilled vibe.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive around 60-90 minutes before the performance to set up and soundcheck. A typical performance is 2 x 50 minute saxophone sets within a 2-hour booking. For DJ + Sax packages, I usually perform for 2–4 hours with a mix of live sax and DJing throughout the evening. I can adapt timings to suit the flow of your event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I’m happy to perform outside as long as there’s a flat, level surface and access to a nearby power supply. I just ask for some form of shelter or shade to protect my instrument and equipment in case of sun or rain.


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

Absolutely - clients are welcome to pick favourites from my repertoire or suggest songs they’d love to hear. I can also learn up to 5 special requests in advance, or more for a fee. For DJ sets, I’m happy to take requests on the night or work with the client beforehand to build a playlist that suits their taste.
