I need performance space of at least 2 metres by 2 metres and 1 car parking space.
Yes I will bring my PAT tested BOSE L1 Pro16 PA system. A sleek, powerful and classy PA system/speaker to play my backing tracks on, I'll also bring a wireless mic too so the saxophone is more present.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment.
Yes, I'm happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between my sets. I'm happy to choose the music myself or let the client choose the music
I have performed at Cross The Tracks Music festival in London. It was amazing to perform in front of a festival sized crowd.
I don't really fixate too much on artists, I like to be influenced by a wide range of artists, keeps my act fresh and exciting. If I was to pick my favourite song of all time though it has to be "Is This Love" by Bob Marley
I started gigging at weddings and local restaurants from a young age. Now I do gigs everywhere and internationally, Portugal being the most recent.
I honestly don't have a favourite, as long as the clients are happy, I'm happy.
Yes my equipment is PAT tested. Safety and professionalism is a priority for me.
Yes I can play along with a DJ that I can recommend or one that you have pre-booked.
Yes I bring a PA system depending on each event.
If I'm playing along with your DJ, the DJ usually brings their PA system which I plug my wireless mic into.
I always like to arrive 1-2 hours before the performance to setup. I normally perform 1 hour set, 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets.
I'm happy to play a bit longer or shorter but I've found that these times suit me and my clients the best.
I'm happy to play outside as long as there is good shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.
Previous customers would describe me as an unforgettable performer who can adapt to the energy of each event.
