Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The energy I bring to the party.

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

No worries! As long as it is not a drastic change just let me know as soon as possible because I might have to re arrange my travel to the venue.

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

Of course. With me you'll have music for as long as I'm at the event.

How much time do you need to set up?

It depends on how much gear I'll use for the performance. - If it is just me and my saxophone I can set up and start to play in 15 minutes. - If I have to connect a microphone to my sax then in 30 min I'd be ready. - If a computer is required for the backing tracks then between 45 min and an hour top.

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

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.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring all the equipment I need. In the case of big events the PA system may need be hired separately.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes I can and I would actually love to. Learning new music is one of my favorite activities so don't be shy and send me your favorite song requests!

We had Toni play at a 30th Birthday for 24 people in the coal office for us. He was absolutely incredible is all I can say! Fantastic communication, played requested songs we wanted to hear and overall he was super friendly and carried a great vibe. He was helpful to suggest when to play and we had zero faults. Everyone loved him! Excellent communication end to end process and would consider again

Toni was brilliant. A very versatile Sax player. He played along to alot of different songs and genres. We had a meeting before hand to discuss any favourite songs or genres that we would like played with the DJ and it wasn't a problem. He also played for our first dance which was really special.

We had a fantastic experience with Toni. Great communication prior to the night he was playing and was always contactable. He had to improvise a lot on the night as the DJs didn’t stick to the play list given to them but he did this effortlessly and brilliantly and everyone loved it. We would definitely book Toni for future events. Very professional, great fun, friendly, and a brilliant sax player. Thank you so much Toni 🙏🏼
