Saxophonist
Glasgow

Hi, I’m Josh. I’m a saxophonist based in Glasgow with over 20 years of playing and performing experience. My sound is a blend of House, Dance-pop/Eurodance, Nu-disco, Breakbeat/Jungle, Big room/Festival house. My setlist includes: Holiday (Confidence Man) Freed From Desire (Gala, Phil Jay, Molella) Put Your Hands Up For Detroit (Fedde Le Grand) Red Alert (Basement Jaxx) Jubel (Klingande) Destination Calabria (Alex Gaudino, Crystal Waters) Funkatarium (Jump) Bombscare (2 Bad Mice) Infinity 2008 (Guru Josh Project, Klaas) Changes (Faul & Wad, PNAU) Soul Sacrifice (Dombresky) Get A Move On! (Mr. Scruff) This Girl (Kungs vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners) (Kungs, Cookin’ On 3 Burners) Mr. Saxobeat (Alexandra Stan) I perform on both baritone saxophone, the biggest and deepest member of the saxophone family, perfect for enhancing basslines and driving the rhythm, — and alto saxophone, ideal for expressive melodies and hooks. My set is all about getting people on their feet and having a good time and I have never had an unhappy client to date!

Josh was a great addition to our event. He was a dream to deal with, so laid back but organised. On the night everyone commented on how great he was. We particularly enjoyed the Latin grooves! I wouldn’t hesitate to book Josh again for future events.

Highly recommend Josh! We booked him to play as guests arrived and took their seats at our recent dance display. The music created the perfect atmosphere, and so many people commented on how great it was. Josh was professional, easy to work with, and communicated really well before the event. Would definitely book again!

Absolutely Recommend Josh – A Fantastic Addition to Any Event! Josh was incredible from start to finish. He took the time to tailor the setlist specifically for my event, thoughtfully considering both the type of audience and the music I wanted. The set itself was amazing—seamless, vibrant, and perfectly suited to the vibe of the night. Having a live saxophone performance truly elevated the party and added such a unique, unforgettable touch. Josh was not only professional and talented, but also an absolute pleasure to work with—friendly, flexible, and so easygoing. I would 100% book him again for future events. Highly recommended
