We were incredibly lucky to have Julian Tucker play saxophone at my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday party at our home.

Julian stepped in at very short notice, and from the moment he arrived he was the complete professional. Not only is he a fantastic musician, but he was thoughtful and considerate about the music he chose, taking into account the age and tastes of our guests and creating exactly the right atmosphere for the occasion.

What really stood out to me personally was how calm and reassuring Julian was. I was quite stressed about everything beforehand, but he took the time to explain everything to me, put my mind at ease and made me feel that everything was going to be fine — and it absolutely was.

His saxophone playing was fantastic and really added something special to the celebration. He was professional, friendly, talented and genuinely cared about making the occasion memorable.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Julian to anyone looking for a brilliant saxophonist who is not only exceptionally talented but also a lovely, thoughtful and reassuring person.

Thank you, Julian, for helping make a very special 80th birthday even more memorable.

Julian Tucker has just been Nominated for The Wedding Industry Awards by Immy Smith Adams:

Julian is INCREDIBLE. He was relaxed yet purposeful and we trusted him completely to make our drinks reception fun and lively. He perfected the tone and brought way more instruments than expected to provide variety. He’s a very talented musician.

Julian was absolutely fantastic. The advice before hand was greatly appreciated, he was superb on the day - we had an unexpectedly sunny day so impromptu drinks outside and Julian brought his sax outside unprompted and was just fantastic.

Julian is a first class professional musician and entertainer. He captured the mood and atmosphere of my party and played appropriate music for all ages all night. He entertained everyone from 14 months old to 84. When he wasn't playing, which wasn't for very long all night, he provided DJ music, which he was even playing for over half an hour after he finshed and was packing his gear away. He made my party a special night to remember and I cannot praise him or thank him enough.

Dear Julian and Nigel,

I just wanted to write and say thank you for playing at the Royal Marines Young Officer Pass out Ball on Thursday night. The performance you both gave was by far and away the best live lounge music that I've ever seen. The event in general was a great success... the vibe that was created in the lounge was perfect, a natural place for people to chill, chat and listen to great music.

Dear Julian,

We were talking about you last night so lovely to get your email today, we have already recommended you to a few friends and are happy for you to share our comments.

We did have a wonderful wedding and it was made all the more special by you, lots of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how talented you were, the fact you were able to be so sympathetic to the mood of the evening was just great.

We have had some lovely cards to thank us for such a wonderful weekend and it was finding people like you who cared about the details that made the whole event so special.

We are actively looking for an excuse to do it all again, so we will definitely be in touch.

Very best regards and many thanks for your kind words,

Mark and Deborah,
Mr and Mrs Arnold.

I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for today! We have had really good feedback all day from the customers saying how great the music was. Julie and I have both agreed that we definitely would like to hire you again for the same event and we want to look at putting on a themed music evening as you said as a duo and maybe over christmas too!

Thank you once again. We will be in touch soon.

Kind regards,

Hi Julian,

Firstly I just wanted to apologise about not paying you on the day but lee made payment yesterday so if you could check that would be fab!
Secondly I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and the band! You guys are the talk of the wedding! Honestly - the atmosphere and vibe in that courtyard was incredible and wouldn't have been the same without you there.
I just wish we had been able to enjoy it a little more instead of being photographed haha but I know we will be pleased to have the photos in the long run!
Anyway we really really cannot thank you enough for what you did on Friday it really was just perfect!
Thank you for playing so beautifully in the ceremony too, when I pulled up and heard somewhere out there from American tail I just lost it haha- one of my all time fave films and such a love song!
If you could send us your address so that we can send you a card when we get around to doing them that would be great!
Kind regards,
Katie BURGESS :)

Hi Julian,

I am sorry that somehow I didn't get to say thank you to you and the band on Saturday night.
We so enjoyed the music and were delighted that we had chosen such excellent musicians!
Please pass our thanks to the rest of the band. We hope we get the pleasure of listening to you again soon. Do you just do private functions or will we have the chance to get to see you okay at a public event?

Thanks again for making the event so special,

Wendy
