Hannah Spires (saxophone) and Matthew Quilliam (guitar/ukulele) present this exciting new duo act, performing across the UK and beyond. Their innovative blend of styles makes for bright and uplifting music, perfect for live lounges, bars, wedding receptions and more… “Superb duo ideal for functions, weddings and social events” Graham Steel, events promoter and organiser Who are SaxandUke? Hannah Spires Saxophone Since completing her Jazz Performance degree in 2023 with first class honours, Hannah is now performing regularly aboard cruise ships backing guest entertainers around the world as well as performing solo at private events in the UK. She uses a song-like tone to deliver her own approach on melodies which blend seamlessly with Matthew’s accompaniment. Matthew Quilliam Guitar/Ukulele Matthew was the very first person to graduate with an all-ukulele degree, and has since gone on to appear at festivals and arts venues across the UK on ukulele and guitar. His smooth style provides for a delicate yet cheerful tone, perfectly complimenting Hannah’s saxophone.

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
