Background music inbetween sets provided at no extra cost. I can play up to a total of 4 hours, each set will be 50 mins giving me a quick breather in between sets. |
Over the last few years, I have spent a lot of time (& money) setting up my new venture.
This was completed in May 2017 and I now go out on my own with an amazing BOSE p.a system and backing tracks.
I love this as I can play music across all genres for any occasion, be it an Ibiza-style birthday party, a Glenn Miller evening, a pop-based wedding, or a club-type event, freestyling with a DJ.
I am concentrating on birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions now to give you the perfect day you wished for.
I want to make your day/evening unique for you and will find, write and arrange any music for your special occasion.
During the last five years, I have played extensively for some of the world's largest cruise companies with numerous contracts for P & O, Holland America, RCCL, and Carnival. This entails backing west end style shows, world-famous singers, and cabaret acts.
In 2013 I played for the show Chicago. The show is a tough multi doubling chair, incorporating tenor & soprano saxes, clarinet, and piccolo.
Up to 2011 apart from performing with the Joe Loss Orchestra I worked with various big bands, played for theatre productions in musicals such as “The Light in the Piazza”, “The Wild Party”, “Parade”, “Annie”, “Guys n Dolls” and many more.
I have recorded with my own band and for others.

Please note, this is not even 1/2 of my songs.
I will send a suggested bespoke list to you based on your choices of genre.
I require a covered, dry area with electricity and am even able to play without if it is a small venue/few people.
Yes, I have 3 different professional PA (speaker) systems. Each one designed for specific things, ie outdoors/large gatherings/small jazz settings etc.
My lights are also top of the range, Chauvet GigBAR 2. These can fill any room with a vast selection of lights which can be set to work with sound!
I need to know the exact location, not just a postcode. If tricky to find please give me directions.
I require a rough size of venue OR approximate number of people it holds. This is so I bring the correct PA system.
If the gig is outside I will need covering such as a gazebo or suchlike. Sun &/or rain will stop my equipment from running.
Yes, no problem. I will play your chosen music in between my sets and for a reasonable fee I will stay after my allotted performance time, up to a max of 2 hours or 2am.
I don’t like to boast… but I have played a few gigs all over the world. I have played with Tom Jones/Joe Loss Orchestra/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra amongst others and have played hundreds of times at Buckingham Palace, Wembley, Twickenham, Ronnie Scott’s as well as performing for musicals here and in the US. (Wild Party/Chicago/Annie/Parade/Light In The Piazza/Grease
I played for the Secretary of State’s daughter’s wedding in New Deli a few years ago. That was amazing! The band I played with were treated like royalty at the palace.
I have also played for all the major cruise lines (RCCL/Holland America/P&O/Carnival/Saga & Cunard)
I think I’m boasting now…sorry! Ha ha
Phil Woods-The greatest alto player ever…in my opinion!
Greatest song-His version of Cheek To Cheek…check it out!
It would take too long but briefly..
Musician in the army-1980-94

I started “gigging” after 2 years of playing for the Army. I needed to be heard and stretched. The Army wasn’t what I wanted but a great stepping stone.
I then started gigging with various pub bands where I learnt so much about unwritten music. Loved it…& still do!
I love playing so I don’t have a favourite event.
I do enjoy playing for people who love to listen to music.
Arrival: 2 hours before the performance
Set up: 1 hour before
I can play up to 4 x forty five minute sets with a short break in between.
Yes, I can perform outside and I don’t require power if the gig is under 10 hours!
I do require a covering and reasonably level ground.
I can send you my ‘Songlist’ which has 730 songs, covering most genres.
If you want something specific that’s also not a problem.
Here are a few reviews in the last 4 weeks or so:
Kelvin was excellent and started off the evening for all our guests as they arrived. I would recommend him and would book him again Thank you
Kelvin was a fantastic addition to our drinks reception!
Kevin was excellent, great communicator, punctual, professional and one hell of a sax player - would recommend!
