About Ray

Need a Saxophonist? Great vocalist? You can have both if you book me! Most styles of music covered to appeal to a wide audience!

Singer

Lytham Saint Annes

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I started out singing alongside a saxophonist and subsequently learned the sax myself - to keep me busy when not singing! Between my solo work, duo work and bands I've around 700 gigs under my belt, including weddings (church, afternoon and/ or evening do), corporate events, birthday parties, golf club functions, masonic functions and more. My repertoire has grown tremendously and I've covered the majority of genres. There's a songlist on here but it doesn't cover all the material I have done in the past. I'm just as comfortable singing Elvis as Sinatra and have put together themed performances including Northern Soul and Glam Rock. I've even done a Bond themed night performing lots of the classic theme songs! My personal music taste is very broad and this has led to the diversity of the repertoire. I provide a full PA system and if required lighting.

Dear Ray, you and Dean made my night that extra special. Brass knobs on literally with that wonderful sax. Your delivery was mighty fine and everyone loved it. I couldn’t walk down that path from the club at the end of the evening as my feet didn't belong to me. I am still buzzing at how wonderful the whole night made me feel. To see everyone smiling, chatting and dancing was fantastic. Thanks again and see you again no doubt about it. Love you guys. Best decision having you there 🥰💃🏽🕺🏼🎷🎸🎼😘

"Thank-you so much for Saturday night. It was brilliant to see the dance floor crowded for the entire evening whether the music was live or disco. Christine has told me that everyone she's spoken to thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment - even the "golden oldie" table who were a bit anxious and didn't know what to expect, loved you! Thanks very very much again for your major contribution to a very successful night." - Bethan Worthington
