"Preview: Allan Stewart’s Big Big Variety Show at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh. It certainly is a small world. Quite extraordinary whom one can meet by chance, when travelling far from home. Ken Scott and I are currently enjoying an epic adventure on board the Silver Shadow cruise ship, circumnavigating South America. On this two month Grand Voyage from Fort Lauderdale,Florida, we sailed via Key West through the Panama Canal south to Ecuador, Peru, Chile, to the other British isles – the Falkland Islands – and north again to Uruguay and then the Parisian-inspired, tango dancing city of Buenos Aires. Joining the ship here as we set sail towards Brazil was a guest entertainer, Sarah Chandler, a charming young British Saxophonist. Her stylish, sassy, show attracted a large audience for her repertoire of jazz classics such as Sway and Stranger on the Shore. While in Rio during the Carnaval weekend, we met Sarah for a chat over cool cocktails on the Pool Deck. 92F in the shade! Her internationally renowned professional career on board cruise ships began around seven years ago. While appearing in a production of Calamity Jane in Margate, she heard by sheer chance that P & O cruises were urgently requiring a Sax player to replace an injured musician. Sarah was soon jetting off from the south of England to Barbados to embark on the Arcadia for a Caribbean voyage. This was the start of a successful career both on land (Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall) and at sea across the globe. (Silversea, P&O, Cunard, Carnival and Holland America). She studied the saxophone, piano, cello, flute and clarinet, graduating from Canterbury University with a Masters in composition and BA in music performance. Performing the alto and soprano sax is her true passion, blending a repertoire of jazz, classical, pop and funk. An exciting and innovative venture has been Sarah’s recent creation of a female Sax band, Saxation. This quirky quartet presents a lively, tightly choreographed show. Although established in 2014, they have already performed on board Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth. The good news is that you don’t have to board a ship to see Saxation on stage. Sarah together with her super sax players, Claire McGarahan, Stacy Docherty and Sophie Burk are appearing in Allan Stewart’s Big Big Variety Show at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh from 8-11 April. Allan Stewart is perhaps best known to Edinburgh audiences for his brilliant portrayal as Dame in the annual Pantomime over the Festive season. The Variety show will also feature his fellow panto stars, Grant Stott and Andy Gray, comedians, Kev Orkian and Jo Caulfield, the McRoberts Brothers and a classic Big Band. You may wonder why and how Saxation are invited to take part in Allan Stewart’s Variety show. Flash back to 2007 when “little Sarah” was experiencing her debut on the Arcadia; a certain Allan Stewart was on board performing his comedy and music cabaret, in which Sarah was a backing singer. Another serendipitous moment, and they have worked together many times since. Sarah disembarked on the third day in Rio to fly off to Peru to join another cruise ship. But in six weeks or so, she will be heading to Edinburgh with the three other Saxation girls to strut their stuff on the King’s Theatre stage. Having seen Sarah’s solo show on the Silver Shadow, and also the You Tube video of Saxation quartet, this is sure to be a glamorous, sexy, super-Saxy performance. Catch them if you can!"

"Otis was absolutely amazing for our wedding! He is so talented, all our guests kept saying how amazing he was. He learnt my favourite song for me to walk down the aisle to, which sounded absolutely beautiful. He is so professional and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend Otis"

"Where do I start... I found Ian on the internet as I was searching for a sax player for our wedding, I listened to his music on his page and was immediately taken back by it! He is truly amazing and he made our wedding so so special! Everyone loved it and it was beautiful to listen to as we arrived at the venue and also when we sat down for the wedding breakfast. Ian got everyone up dancing and our day couldn't have gone anymore perfect. Thank you so much! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :-)"

"I wanted to share some fantastic feedback about Taylor Sax, who recently performed at our event. She was absolutely brilliant! She mingled effortlessly with the crowd, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. Her collaboration with our DJ was seamless, playing the latest hits, Christmas anthems, and nostalgic songs that everyone loved. Not to mention, she looked incredible throughout the event. We were thoroughly impressed with her performance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding performer. We would definitely book her again for future events. "

"I found Martin to be a very professional Saxophonist. He explained everything to me on the same day of bookIng, was very clear in his requirements and gave fantastic performance at our Open Day at Pure/ Beauty Salon. He was enjoyed by everybody and was able to play all the tunes that were requested. We all enjoyed his company and would definitely recommend him and have him back again. Mima "

"Hi Dan, The music last Saturday was superb! We left for our honeymoon the day after the wedding, and haven't found the opportunity to message since. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you. The combination of the three of you worked really well, and helped set a great vibe. Please could you pass this/our thanks on to Olivia and Jamie too. Thanks again, Marcus and Kate"

"Martin played at our wedding ceremony on 17th May this year. It was a fantastic day and was made even more special and memorable by Martin's contribution to the day. We first saw Martin at a friends wedding and loved him so much we knew we had to have him for ours too. The guests loved the atmosphere he created. He has lots of music for you choose from, but still went that extra mile and created a new track of a song I loved for my entrance piece. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for some great live sax music! "
