Hello there! I'm Bill Finnegan, the heart and soul behind The Saxophone Lounge and DJ Saxosonic. My passion for music is fueled by over two decades of playing the saxophone in diverse bands, embracing an array of musical genres. • Why Choose The Saxophone Lounge/DJ Saxosonic? Versatility: From light jazz and Latin rhythms to contemporary chart-toppers by artists like Bruno Mars, Adele, and Pharrell Williams, my performances weave a tapestry of melodies that's sure to resonate with all. The common thread? A beautiful melody that sets the perfect tone for your event. DJ Saxosonic: Imagine the energetic vibe of Ibiza right at your event. Using cutting-edge equipment, I curate an electric atmosphere, blending the latest dance tunes with my sax, and joining the dance floor to elevate the energy. Special Occasions: My expertise shines in providing music for Wedding Drink Receptions, Wedding Breakfasts, Corporate Events, Cocktail Parties, and Official Openings. However, it doesn’t end there – I adapt to any event where tasteful background music is essential. • Tailored Services for Every Event Ceremony Music: I’ll be there before the bride arrives, entertaining your guests and setting the mood. Your chosen Entrance/Exit songs, and melodies at pivotal moments? Consider it done. Drinks Reception: On arrival, I ensure the atmosphere is charged and maintains momentum right until the last guest heads for the wedding breakfast. During The Meal: A harmonious ambience continues through the meal, keeping the vibe just right. DJ Saxosonic Experience: Whether it's for the entire evening or post-band performance, expect an Ibiza-esque aura. I sync with the latest dance numbers, ensuring a memorable night for all. One-Hour Dance Set: Amp up the energy with a full-throttle dance set – be it Ibiza vibes, '90s classics, or other dance favourites. It's all about engaging with the audience and creating an unforgettable party vibe. • Experience Meets Passion Every event is unique, and my offerings are modular, letting you mix and match as per your requirements. Whether it's the Ceremony, Drinks Reception, a one-hour dance set, or a DJ stint, I ensure a seamless blend of services that best fit your needs. No matter the setting – be it a party, corporate event, or a simple gathering in pubs, restaurants, or hotels – my saxophone and I are ready to make it exceptional.
