Otis' Reviews

5 out of 5

I booked Otis to perform at my daughter’s 18th birthday. From start to finish he was a pleasure to deal with and always very friendly, accommodating and professional. He took time to find out what kind of music we wanted played on the night. He worked very closely with the venue and myself to decide how best the sound system would work for the night. We chatted through how we wanted the music broken down for the evening. He worked with us and made sure we had a huge say in all the decisions. When the day arrived he turned up in plenty of time on the night and was ready to go at the agreed time. All our guests loved his music, style and he brought the whole atmosphere together on the night. We enjoyed Otis’ company at the end of the night when he sat and chatted with us while enjoying a drink. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Otis for your occasion. The beauty with how he plays the Saxophone brings a great atmosphere and energy to your event. Many thanks Otis Laura

Customer questions

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

I always try my 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. A lift in vibe as I have a break is definitely needed, I actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests chill or dance and have an amazing time. However, I'd definitely be 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 I will bring a BOSE L1 Pro16 PA system. A sleek, powerful and classy PA system/speaker to play my backing tracks on, I'll also bring a wireless mic too so the saxophone is more present. I also bring my saxophone.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
