Tenor Saxophonist
Feltham
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Richie G Sax is a professional solo saxophonist with over 25 years of live performance experience, specialising in weddings, private events, corporate functions and high-end social occasions across the UK. His performances are designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide variety of event settings, offering clients and planners a flexible, reliable and polished live music option. Richie’s solo sax work is particularly well suited to ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, corporate receptions and early evening atmospheres, where live music is required to enhance the mood without dominating the event. Using a high-quality, self-contained setup, he performs live saxophone either with professionally produced backing tracks or alongside a DJ where required, adapting the style and energy of the performance to suit the occasion. With a broad and versatile repertoire, Richie covers a wide range of musical styles including R&B, soul, dance and house music, Motown classics, pop, reggae and smooth jazz. This allows him to tailor performances closely to each booking, whether the brief calls for relaxed background music, a sophisticated groove, or a more upbeat and engaging feel as the event develops. He is also happy to accommodate specific song requests in advance to help personalise the experience for clients. Over the course of his career, Richie has performed at a diverse range of events, including private parties, clubs, corporate functions and large-scale productions. He is highly experienced in working within structured environments and understands the importance of timing, presentation and coordination with venues, planners and other suppliers. This makes him a dependable choice for events where professionalism and attention to detail are essential. In addition to his private and corporate work, Richie has shared the stage with a number of well-known artists, including Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, Gary Barlow and Peter Andre. He has also appeared on several major television productions, including The Crown (Netflix), The Royal Variety Show, The Graham Norton Show and The Jonathan Ross Show. These experiences have contributed to a strong sense of stage awareness and performance discipline that carries through into his live event work. Based in London and performing nationwide, Richie provides all necessary equipment and is fully self-sufficient. His approach is calm, adaptable and professional, making him an easy and low-maintenance booking option for clients, planners and agencies alike. Whether performing as subtle background accompaniment or adding live energy to an event, Richie G Sax delivers a consistently high standard of live saxophone performance.

Richie is an absolute must for the best birthday party! He got the dance floor filled from start to finish & was the perfect addition to the party. Richie did a lounge set before hand it was just beautiful. He really was the cherry on top for an amazing day. If you’re looking for someone who is super professional, reliable, lovely, and to provide that something special then I really highly recommend Richie!

We booked Richie for our evening reception on our wedding day. In the lead up he was super responsive and helpful which is just what a bride needs when managing lots of suppliers. He started with our first dance which he learned in preparation as it wasn’t in his repertoire, his riffs were incredible, his timing impeccable, he really brought the vibe. The guests absolutely loved him and have raved on about him since the wedding! I’ve also had a few friends on Instagram also ask for his details as they want him too! So glad we found Richie, he made our evening even more special and I highly recommend to everyone!

Richie's Song list

For any specific special requests that aren’t on my song list I charge £30 per track or 2 for £50 that are not on my song list. This is mainly for the cost of getting a suitable backing track and the time it will take to learn the song.
If there are any special or sentimental song requests you would like me to learn please let me know ASAP and we can add this to the balance on the night.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients love the energy, musicality, and how I read the room. Whether it’s relaxed background vibes or a high-energy dancefloor moment, I tailor every performance to the event. I’m professional, reliable, and focused on making each moment feel special and memorable.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I’ve performed at venues including Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The Jazz Cafe London, Soul Mama (East London), and luxury hotels and private venues across Europe and the Middle East, including Prague, Paris, Rome, and Dubai.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My influences include Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn, Najee, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Joshua Redman, Miles Davis, George Benson, and Wes Montgomery, alongside the wider jazz, soul, and funk traditions.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I’ve performed at numerous high-profile private and corporate events, including performances for internationally recognised artists and celebrities, luxury weddings, TV productions, and exclusive events across the UK and abroad. Too many highlights to list just one.

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

I’m flexible up to about 30 minutes of timing changes. If it goes beyond that—like an hour or more—there may be an extra charge since I might have other gigs on the same day.

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

Yes, I can. It’s basically like playing a Spotify or iTunes playlist of your choice between sets, and I’m happy to do that free of charge. This isn't a full DJ service, just background music.

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically need about 45 minutes to an hour to set up and get everything ready to go.

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

Yes, you can choose songs from my existing set list. If a song isn’t on my list, I do charge a small fee to learn it and source the backing track.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely. I bring all my own gear, including the sax and any audio equipment needed, so you won’t have to worry about providing anything extra.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, I can. There’s a £30 fee to learn a new song, or £50 for two songs, to cover the time and backing track preparation. Just let me know what you need.
