About / Biography

In 1982 I first picked up the Saxaphone, not thinking it would be one of the greatest loves I have in my life. I have been part of many bands including blues, soul and a saxophone and guitar duo, as well as impressing my children, and now grandchildren, with top hits and nursery rhymes.

I have performed at many different events, from guests up and dancing at weddings, garden parties and special events, such as the Windsor races and food festivals, and more relaxed gigs at places restaurants and pubs.

My setlist can vary from relaxing soul music, to popular songs and artists such as:

• Madness
• Amy Winehouse
• John Lennon
• Adele
• Lewis Capaldi
• Elvis Presley

As well as various Ska, Soul and Rock n Roll tunes.

All songs are played on either my Alto or Tenor Saxophone, bringing my own set up to each set.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a space of 3m x 4m for my set up. I only require one parking space, and at one electrical socket for power.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I provide sound equipment, a microphone (floor standing speakers) and a coloured projection light.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to the know the location (such as postcodes, which floor etc), if the event is indoors and outdoors, and the correct place to set up. Any outdoor event I must be under a cover, such as a gazebo or marquee. I can be limited by rain depending on the outdoor cover provided.


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

Yes I can play a Spotify playlist between sets, with clients able to choose the the music.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally require an hour before to set up all equipment. I normally perform 2 x 45 minute sets with a 30 minute break between, or 3 x 30 minutes sets with 15 minute breaks in between. I am happy to play for shorter or longer on request.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, as long as there is suitable cover such as marquee or gazebo. There needs to be a power outlet. However, certain covers may not be suitable in rainy conditions, where I will be unable to play.


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

Any requests must be made 6 weeks in advance. Please be aware that some songs may not be saxophone compatible.

I also have a set list for clients to choose from.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

All customers have exclaimed how upbeat, fun and original I am, with not many people able to play saxophone and sing, with the variety of songs I have. Everyone is always on their feet dancing and singing along!
