“I perform and entertain with the clients in mind, always focusing on the needs of the event, fully aware that I’m not playing a gig . . . I’m providing ambience or motivation for a party. It’s not about ‘me’ at an event, it’s about the people there having a great time. The qualification is, of course, being a great singer, musician, and DJ, but that’s not why people are there, they want entertainment and what that means to different groups is very diverse.”

“During my live evening performances, I bridge the gap between a band and a disco. Many venues, especially stately homes, don’t have the space to accommodate a band properly. So an entertainment act representing the key aspects of a live band, a frontman singing and engaging the audience with that splash of a live instrument, is the perfect alternative. The range of material is expanded, and the sound levels can be controlled appropriately to suit both the venue and the audience.”

“Growing fast in popularity is the live saxophone improvising over contemporary and classic dance tracks. The art of playing over dance tracks is to provide a visual and live element to a disco, adding energy with that unexpected twist to the tunes you know and love”. This can be an alternative early evening or pre-dinner drinks performance.
