Oh, thank you so much guys. It was such a treat for our wedding party and drinks reception! Exactly what we were looking for. Watching this saxophone and bongos duo perform feels like being invited into an intimate jam session with old friends. Their chemistry is palpable, and it's evident that they share a deep musical connection. The saxophone weaves rich, emotive melodies while the bongos provide the heartbeat of the music. Together, they create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and invigorating, making it the perfect soundtrack for a laid-back evening or a lively gathering. We highly recommand Saxobongos and will have them again hopefully anytime soon. Michelle and John xx

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

You and David were INCREDIBLE!!!!! Literally every guest has told us how amazing you were. You completely made the night, it was absolutely perfect. You are so incredibly talented! Thank you again!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Crazt Bear, Oxford

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

SAXOBONGOS does not have a singer. Saxophone sound playing all your favourite songs and melodies. And Bongos (inc. other percussion) add a rhythmical colour to it.

Do you have different line-up options?

SAXOBONGOS is a duo of Saxophonist and Bongos. It can play with backing tracks for your drinks reception or alongside a DJ for your evening party or any time of the day party.

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

In most cases it will not be a problem to change your timings. Please let us know as soon as possible.

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

Yes, absolutley.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 2 hours before the performance time. Means for most cases we will arrive about 2 hours prior to performans start time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

If you are booking us without having your own DJ then we would love to hear from you regarding songs choices. It will give us an idea how to build up our Playlist most suitable for your occasion.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

It will depend on what you are looking for. You can book us by options: 1. Just a duo to play alongside your DJ. In this case a DJ need to be asked regarding us to be able to connect to his/her PA system. 2. A duo with PA to play alongside a Playlist. Please ask us if you have any quesitons regarding other options you might have in your mind.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes. Please let us know as soon as possible if you have nay specific requests so we could prepare them for you.
