About / Biography

TheSaxWalker – Professional Saxophonist

David Walker, known as TheSaxWalker, is a highly regarded solo saxophonist based in Ipswich, Suffolk, performing across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

Over the years, David has entertained countless audiences and performed for an impressive list of prestigious clients including Marks & Spencer, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Havens Hospices, and Snap-on, among many others. Through his captivating live performances and active presence on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, David has built a strong following of loyal fans and repeat clients.

Performing a wide variety of genres — from Soul, Funk, and Pop to modern Chart Hits — David’s love for Smooth Jazz shines through in his music, creating an exciting, diverse, and unforgettable experience for every audience.

Fully self-sufficient, David provides his own professional-grade, PAT-tested sound equipment and performs with high-quality backing tracks. He is also fully insured, carrying up-to-date Public Liability Insurance — ensuring peace of mind for both venues and event organisers.

Coming from a deeply musical family, David’s passion for music began at a young age. He started playing drums at just five years old before learning the double bass, and it wasn’t long before his natural musical talent was recognised by his primary school music teacher.

Over time, David has developed his own distinctive and funky sound, inspired by some of the world’s greatest saxophonists including Eric Darius, Dave Koz, Richard Elliot, and Gerald Albright. These influences, combined with his passion and professionalism, have shaped David into the dynamic performer he is today.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a 25% booking fee to confirm a booking, the remaining balance is then due no later than 14 days prior to your event date. Payment methods and terms can be found at the bottom of your booking confirmation which will be created and emailed to you should you decide to proceed.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I use amplified sound equipment for every performance and require safe access to a standard 13 amp plug socket.


What information do you require about a venue?

It is down to you (the client) to ensure that your chosen venue has the correct music licence if required.


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

No, unfortunately this is something I don't provide.


How long do you require to setup for your Sax & DJ Package?

Unless you have already requested and booked an early disco setup, your DJ will arrive & setup approximately 90 minutes before the disco is due to start. Can I kindly request that safe, nearby access is provided for him to unload. The disco setup requires a minimum of two dedicated 13 amp plug sockets, located no further than 5 metres away. Please also ensure that there is a clear walkway into the room to avoid any unnecessary disruption.


Do you have Public Liability Insurance and is your equipment PAT tested?

I certainly do. I have public liability insurance to the value of £10 million and all of my electrical equipment is PAT tested on a yearly basis. Copies of both certificates can be provided ahead of any event should your venue require them.

Up to a 2 hour afternoon wedding drinks reception set, or a 1 hour non-stop evening Party/Club performance.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, so long as it’s warm enough. Like most instruments, the saxophone really doesn’t like being exposed to cold temperatures. I also require safe access to power (please check with your venue if you’re unsure). I will not risk exposing my equipment to rain or high winds so please make sure you have a “Plan B” in place in the unfortunate event of bad weather.


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

You’re welcome to highlight a handful of tracks from my playlist that you’d especially like me to include in my set, however I don’t ask clients to write my entire set list in advance as a lot of my skill and experience is knowing which tracks to play depending on my audience.

Previous customers would describe me as an extremely talented, high energy and unique performer that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.


How long do you require to set up for a solo saxophone performance?
