Fully self contained multi instrumental, specialising in smooth jazz saxophone, light classical flute and clarinet. I also feature the EWI (wind synthesiser) and some keyboards if required. I am able to provide function bands from duo to the ten piece Mark Crowe Orchestra. I also offer a complete arranging and transcription service.
I am a graduate of the Leeds College of Music jazz studies course, and spent many years as a house musician on the QE2, completing five world cruises. I have also performed on the QM2 more recently. I have toured nationally with shows such as the Rat Pack, Fiddler on the Roof, Cats, Chicago, and most recently Bugle Boy (Glenn Miller Musical). I also perform regularly with the UK Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Joe Loss Orchestra. As a studio player, I have performed on many commercial recordings, including the BBC Radio Orchestra.
I play all of the saxophones, flutes and clarinets, oboe, EWI and piano. I have recently recorded a demo CD of my solo set which can be obtained on request. As a solo act, I am completely self contained with a professional sound system and high quality backing tracks.
As an arranger, I have written for Olsen Cruises, Center Parcs, and numerous cabaret artists.
Based in Bournemouth, Dorset
