About Julian

Classic Pop & Cool Jazz saxophonist with backing tracks.
Saxophonist
Leighton Buzzard

Julian’s musical life is rich and varied - starting with private classical Piano lessons and learning Electric Bass Guitar he played pop & rock music gigs professionally starting at 17 years old. As his musical tastes expanded he studied jazz at Leeds College of Music and the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and added the Acoustic Double Bass to his musical arsenal. Moving to London in 2000 he worked extensively in the jazz scene later adding Alto & Tenor Saxophone. Julian has been charming audiences with his saxophone playing at all kinds of events. From small garden parties to high end corporate events all around the UK. His talents and upbeat disposition makes him the perfect one man band. He will discuss with you ahead of time the perfect choice of music for the event out of his huge repertoire. His performances include Good Morning Britain (live), NatWest advert, Holby City, Top of the Pops 2, Sky Arts 2, Children in Need -Toronto Canada (live), BBC Radio 3 (live) So many to choose from but Cannes Film Festival, for several years running, stands out as a favourite- one gig of which was for the movie Candelabra, a small private pre launch dinner for mega Hollywood stars Michael Douglas, Matt Damon & guests - very thrilling. Or - the Canadian Embassy - a Private Dinner for Landmine Awareness Campaign - Heather Mills, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin & a few more. Afterwards Sir Paul shook my hand and said “Well played!” …Oh the pride!

Julian played the saxophone for the first hour as our guests arrived for my dad's birthday, and he was absolutely brilliant. His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it. Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event. His talent really added something special to the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic saxophonist for their event.
