What a night we all had celebrating my husband’s birthday with a big thank you to Martin who started off the party with his amazing saxophone performance and brilliant choice of music. Had everyone of all ages on the dance floor. What a great atmosphere and would highly recommend The man in the blue shades.

Highly recommend Martin

- great Sax tunes, it was a family event for all ages so we had a good mix plus a few Ibiza classics
- great to deal with before and on the day, very patient and helped me get set up for the day
- he has a good vibe about him, just seems to enjoy what he does.
- overall Martin just came across as a humble guy and genuinely wants to contribute to a party.

We recently booked "The Man in The Blue Shades" (Marty), Saxophone player for our engagement party. He was absolutely outstanding and really got the party going. He accomodated us with the perfect playlist which was Ibiza house and pop which was exactly the vibe we went for and managed all requests with out any hesitation. Booking was straightforward, and communication was very easy he kept intouch to the run up of the party which was very reassuring . I would highly recommend Marty if you are looking for an experienced saxophone player. Thanks again

We booked The Man in the Blue Shades and I can’t rate him enough.
I sent him songs guests had asked for and all my favourite tracks he played sax too and he covered everything and more.
So talented, friendly and brings high energy to his performance interacting with guests dancing with bride and having a really good laugh
I will be booking again he’s amazing!!!
