About Julian Smith

Britain's Got Talent runner-up to Diversity & Susan Boyle, Julian Smith's smooth Saxophone playing is perfect for any event.
Saxophonist

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Saxophone extraordinaire and Britain's Got Talent runner-up, Julian Smith, has a career spanning 30 years. From his time on Britain's Got Talent, which first propelled Smith into stardom, he stunned the judges with his saxophone rendition of 'Somewhere' from West Side Story, and since then has never looked back. His talent and charm are what make him the success he is today, and he has expanded his love for the saxophone into albums, live performances and online saxophone lessons. Since Julian Smith’s appearance on the 2009 series of Britain’s Got Talent, when 20 million people watched the final and saw him come 3rd with 700,000 votes (close behind Susan Boyle and Diversity), Julian has been constantly in demand all around the world. With private performances, corporate events, high-profile wedding engagements, theatre tours and cruise ship bookings, he has been kept very busy for the last decade. Fulfilling a dream, he not only got to meet his biggest inspiration Kenny G but also performed with him along with his all-American band at the Royal Albert Hall. On this day his idol presented him with a signed saxophone just to make the occasion even more special. With seven albums to his name, Julian has recorded duets with the late great Acker Bilk, Dina Carroll and Blake. Julian Smith’s music is a perfect way to open any event. Surprising everyone with his incredible sound, which audiences only realise is live when he appears in front of them (when performing with a roaming wireless microphone), it creates even more of an impact when he gets up close and personal with excited guests. Julian has performed for Royalty including Prince Charles and also had an invitation to perform at Number 10 Downing Street. Julian’s music can have an enormous impact opening an event...performing epic movie themes with video footage behind him, to playing a simple sweet lullaby in a romantic situation. Performances for events can be solo to track or with a band.
