Barrie performed at our wedding party last Saturday evening. He was absolutely amazing, and I’ve already recommended him to so many people who have asked about him. He was so easy to book, so friendly and he just slotted into the night so perfectly. I would definitely book again for another event. Thanks, Barrie! (10 / 10)

Customer questions

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

I always try our 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 I actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue closes, I may be able to provide this for an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually aim to be at the venue 45 to 60 minutes before my performance to allow sufficient time to setup and sound check.

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

My set lists are usually fixed, but if you have a certain vibe in mind or any specific requests I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure I find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, as well as my saxophones I always bring my own microphones, PA system and basic lighting setup.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If the song isn't in my repertoire already I am happy to learn any special songs for you. There is a £30 per song to allow for preparing tracks and practice time.
