Why book a saxophonist?

A live saxophonist adds instant class to a drinks reception or dinner, and real energy when playing over a DJ. It is one of the most versatile live music options you can book.

Sax suits everything from relaxed lounge sets to house and commercial dance sets, and it fits Gatsby and jazz themes perfectly.

Where it works best

  • Sax with DJ

    Live sax over the DJ's set.

  • Corporate parties

    A live edge for the dance floor.

  • Launches

    A stylish soundtrack for the reveal.

  • Weddings

    From reception to dance floor.

  • Drinks receptions

    Smooth, relaxed sets.

  • Gatsby nights

    Jazz and swing standards.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Short, high-impact sets

    Two or three sets at the right moments beat one long one.

  2. 2

    Brief the DJ

    A sax over the DJ works best when they share the set list in advance.

  3. 3

    Roaming or fixed

    Wireless kit lets the sax roam the room. Tell us what you prefer.
