About MET

Flamboyant & Vibrant Saxophonist in the North West. Experienced in all styles and situations, making a magical connection with the audience!
Alto Saxophonist
Manchester
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Hi! I’m Molly. I'm a professional musician based in Manchester. I specialise in Saxophone (Alto, and Soprano) and have 15 years experience performing on stages across the UK at Clubs, Bars, Private events, and as part of touring Bands. I regularly perform live at my residency venues (including O'neills Printworks in Manchester), and also write and record as a solo artist, as well as alongside my current Band project - Ask My Bull. I believe music is my calling and gift for the world. I’ve had a burning passion for music all my life, and have been incredibly lucky to use that passion in my work! I was born in the Midlands, UK. Following amazing support from my family, I started singing and playing Recorder age 3, and quickly moved on to Piano and Violin. I continued to pick up new instruments, play in Orchestra’s, bands, and pursue my interest in writing and composition. I achieved Grade 8 Saxophone upon leaving school, and headed to University at Westminster where i began to teach myself Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, and try my hand at production. I graduated with a BMus Hons in Commercial Music Performance, and began to work as a session musician - Recording, and performing live. As well as working on my solo project MET I have had the pleasure of playing in some amazing bands such as Jessica and the bad habits, We Mere Mortals, Pollen and Ask My Bull. I have done some exciting session work in recording and live performance, - including as a club & House Saxophone performer, for private functions both solo and with Function Bands, and performing and recording with bands such as Popes of Chillitown and Seas of Mirth. During my touring life i have played stages at Madam Jojo’s, Volupte lounge, O2 Academy Birmingham, the Sunflower lounge, The Rainbow, The Slade rooms, The Roadhouse, The Empire Coventry, Pink Wafer Sheffield, Rebellion Manchester, Extinction Rebellion, Fuse Festival, BoomTown Festival, Balter Festival, Nozstock, NOT a Cult festival, Landed Festival, Green Gathering, Equinox and many more! I enjoy sharing the gift of music to others, and enjoying teaching on the side of my own musical ventures. With some exciting projects, releases and Tour dates in the Pipeline the future is looking bright!

I employed Molly and her band Pollen to perform at an event organised for my mother’s birthday party. The band’s performance was incredible and they played long into the night, even coming back for an encore. Everyone at the party commented on how the entire evening was a rambunctious and thrilling spectacular of energy and performance, as well as musical talent!

Customer questions

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

I always try to be as flexible as possible with timings! Let me know if anything changes in the run up to the event and I will do my best to accomodate this. The only reason I would not be able to usually is if I have multiple bookings arranged!

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

I don't usually, as I'm not a DJ - and I like to leave this up to the professionals I work with! But if this is somthing you are looking for, or we are using my Portable speaker as part of a 'curated setlist' event just let me know and I will do my best to help! (Please note I do not bring my own PA - this would be an additional fee.)

How much time do you need to set up?

If you are hiring me to perform alongside a pre-booked DJ I need 5-10 minutes at most to set up. If you are hiring me along with a portable speaker with a curated playlist, I need more like 20 minutes to set up. Just let me know if you need me to arrive ahead of your guests and we can try to arrange this.

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

Yes! You can choose whatever music you would like and I will play over it! I usually play alongside a DJ of your choice using their sound system but I can bring a portable speaker (depending on the venue size) and help curate a playlist if needed!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I can! I usually play alongside a DJ of your choice using their sound system but I can bring a portable speaker (depending on the venue size) and help curate a playlist if needed!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes! I will literally play to any music of your choice - I have a really extensive and varied background and enjoy a challenge! Just try to let me know if you have any specific requests as far ahead of the event as possible - particularly if they already include a complex sax line. Thank you!
