As well as teaching music, I have been performing as a saxophonist in a variety of function bands.

Rob provided a fantastic service for my friend's wedding in October. He was very professional, and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. He was very engaging and enjoyable to listen to.

Customer questions

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

I'll try and be as flexible as I can be, and depending on how soon I'm made aware of the change attempt to make myself available.

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

I can provide music via my PA in between and before sets if requested.

How much time do you need to set up?

I would prefer at least an hour before the beginning of the performance to set up. I could try and push it to half an hour if necessary.

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

My set list is a guide to the types of tunes that I can / enjoy playing. It isn't a complete collection of every song I can play, but instead offers an idea for the pieces that could be use. Depending on the work load, I could definitely add additional songs into the set.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. I bring my own saxophone, and can additionally bring in my PA for backing tracks / microphone.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I'm more than happy to arrange additional songs that are not on my song list for an event. I have included three additional tunes in my pricing list, however more may incur an additional fee depending on the amount requested.
