About Caz

Solo Saxophonist High quality backing tracks Funk, jazz, pop, soul, blues, Celtic, Ibiza, rock & Ska Over 35 years performance experience
Alto Saxophonist
Berkhamsted
Public liability insurance of £10 million

I’ve been performing, recording & teaching saxophones to a high level for over 35 years. Ultimately I play from the heart to bring joy to as many people as possible. My solo act gives me the opportunity to deliver this aim whilst crossing genres, improvising & delivering iconic sax lines all within the same performance! I joined my first band at 14, playing the Albion festival circuit & Glastonbury Festival along side several TV appearances. My journey continued into my late teens playing in both rock & blues bands throughout the UK, & during my 20’s a punk band (with sax!) saw me touring, Holland, Belgium & Germany. Within my 30’s & 40’s I played in various covers bands, performing in clubs throughout the UK, weddings, & military bases. I then started performing at Art Centres, Festivals and Ceili’s as part of our family band, an eclectic mix of instruments performing Traditional Irish music and contemporary songs, which led us to the opportunity of being amongst the first ever musicians to play at Buckingham Palace for a Royal reception. In later years I have had the pleasure of recording with: John Devine - “Notions “, “Play” Devines - “An Lon Dubh”, “The Gap Between the Two Trapezes”, “Devine Waters” Frank Walsh - “The Fire Still Remains”, “ Providence” Joe Dunne - “ Shoeless Joe”

Wow, amazing, thank you so much Caz for your set at our daughters 21st. It was a surprise for my daughter, you helped craft the play list, supported with the detail and absolutely smashed it on the night. Thank you, everyone loved it, you were very kind and you really got the party started. Many thanks to you, amazing x

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to accommodate all your requirements & try to be flexible when needed so that your event runs as smoothly as possible , just let me know what you would like.

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to be set up at least an hour to 1.5 before the event and it takes about 1/2 hour.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I’m more than happy for you to pick pieces from my play list, and if there are a couple you would like that aren’t on the list, with 2 weeks notice or more I can incorporate them too.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I play through my amp that’s fully pat tested, with my iPad, stand & Mic.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

With 2 weeks notice or more I can try and include a couple of requests that aren’t on the list. Please discuss your wishes with me and I will try and honour them.
