About Adrian

Clarinettist and Saxophonist for hire, Can play solo with backing tracks, In a duo with guitar, Trio with guitar and double bass Or quartet
Alto Saxophonist
London

Hi there, I am Adrian a saxophone and clarinet player. I perform jazz, blues, pop music, for all events, including weddings, corporate events, and functions. I can play solo or with many bands setups. A trio or quartet is great for many occasions. Let me know what you would like me to perform and I will tailor my talent to your occasion. I have preformed in many bands for over a decade and am currently in the guards bands in central London. Where I play a variety of music, such as orchestral, film music, dixie band, theatre music, March music, bigband and jazz. I have been playing Clarinet, from a young age and then also learnt the Alto saxophone. In recent years I have also picked up the Tenor saxophone and produce music in my spare time. I have performed for many of my friends and families weddings, parties and events. I perform across the UK in events, mainly jazz bars in London and gypsy jazz is a firm favourite genre in the last few years. I consider myself to be very versatile in terms of having an ear for music, being able to pick up and learn new songs quite quickly and improvising has always been my forte. I am keen to showcase my talents and perform at your desired event and make it a special day for you and your audience!

Adrian played saxophone during our wedding ceremony. He created an incredible memorable ambiance for us and our guests. His song selection and the way he played the song, was perfect to fully enjoy those moments before we exchanged the rings. We were soo happy that we had him

Adrian's saxophone performance at my 29th birthday was fantastic! His music created a great atmosphere. His talent and passion for music shone through with every note he played. I highly recommend him for any event where you want to add a touch of musical brilliance
