“We booked FitzRoy Sax for a hen do recently and all I can say is wow he was amazing! From initial contact to the last note he was nothing short of spectacular - he nailed the brief and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. On arrival everything was slick with the set up. He was fun and up for a laugh (it was quite a wild afternoon). He got everyone up dancing and on the last song he moved his performance to the top of the swimming pool steps which was the icing on the cake of an already very special afternoon. We all can’t stop talking about him. He is a legend and we definitely recommend! ”

“Nick played two sets at my 40th birthday party, one word.......incredible! All of my guests, approx 100 of them commented on how amazing Nick was, he definitely made the night one to remember. Nick was very accommodating with the DJ that we also had booked that night, ensuring that the entertainment for my birthday party went smoothly. Thank you Nick! We will definitely be in contact for our future events.”

I have performed nationally and internationally at numerous locations, festivals and events. Notably Glastonbury Festival, Shambala Festival, Boomtown Festival, Tottenham Football Club, Goodwood Race Course, 101 Club London, Bristol Beacon, Bristol Jazz and Blues Festival, Barcelona Festival etc

My main influences are from the jazz greats, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderly. While more modern influences include Eric Marienthal, Kenny G, David Sanborn, Snarky Puppy.

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional price.

How much time do you need to set up?

I would usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. This would include a sound check. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I will provide everything needed for the performance. PA, floor lighting, extension cables etc. All I ask to be provided is access to 4 x 13amp sockets.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes. All bookings will have one request free of charge as part of their event. I can also learn more and completely tailor your event at an agreed additional rate.
