Sid the
Street Saxophonist
"I often find jazz a bit too 'disjointed', but your style is just right. I love the saxophone anyway, but you make it so expressive; I have recordings by Kenny G, Grover Washington Jnr., Stevie Jones etc., but I think your playing is as good as any of them. I'm really pleased we came across you"

Solo Saxophonist.
Jazz Standards, Jazz Ballads & Blues.
Acoustic Tenor Saxophone with high quality backing tracks.
For bookings I offer 3 x 40 mins or equivalent.
No mains power required.
Weddings.
I offer music for the part of a wedding that comes after the ceremony and before the wedding breakfast.
The meet and greet, drinks and canopes.
My saxophone is played acoustically with a backing track accompaniment. My 'backing band' is delivered through 1930's look PA speakers.
I am deftly skilled at measuring the mood and delivering something appropriate.
I always dress formerly.. A nice suit and tie.
My range of tunes is mostly 30's and 40's jazz and ballads with perhaps a little reggae and one or two pop songs.
Special Events
I have played a good many foyers in my time, welcoming guests to events.
I have also played at sporting events, and on the deck of a Thames barge.
I have made themed shows for valentines, Easter, Christmas, Halloween and Bonfire nights.
I enjoy adapting my saxophone skills to fit unique and bespoke situations.
If you have an event, please drop me a line and allow me to make creative suggestions at your event.
