About / Biography

Hi, I'm Chris!

I have been playing the saxophone for over 20 years and have played in a multitude of bands including a wedding band for 8 years before going solo.

For weddings, my packages cover the entire day, from ceremony to evening reception! Whether it's quiet background music during the meal or a full party atmosphere you are looking for, I can do it!

I still play at plenty of other events like birthday parties, hen parties, engagement parties and corporate/charity events!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Access to up to 2 wall sockets


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

For during the daytime I have a battery powered speaker and wireless microphone, allowing me complete freedom, anywhere!
For evenings I have bigger, louder speakers as well as lights, or I can easily plug in to your DJ/Band's mixer if they are happy for me to do so!


What information do you require about a venue?

Knowing if there is a sound limiter is needed as this can really affect my louder sets!


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

IF I need a break during my daytime sets then I will play a playlist to cover that down time, but that is very rare!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I’ve been a musician from a young age, playing at school shows and fayres. I then studied Music at University, joining bands and playing around the country. From there I moved to a wedding band as well as teaching and now play solo sax!


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

The best gigs are those where the guests are up for the party! Even during my quieter sets, having guests singalong during the meal lets me know it’s a good crowd!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I have a battery powered EV Everse 8 speaker, ideal for outdoor ceremonies and drinks receptions as I will not need access to power!

I also have 2 Mackie SRM 212 V-Class speakers for when a party atmosphere is needed at parties or evening receptions of weddings. These 2000W speakers will fill pretty much any room!


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely! With my Everse 8 speaker, I don't even need access to power! In the case of rain though I would need to be under cover!


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

I can easily play a couple of requests during the Afternoon Drinks Reception, I'll just need some time to learn them beforehand!

My Sax Party Hour is fixed as I've mixed the songs into a 1 hour track, however I can easily add on a special request at the end!
