I am a saxophonist with around 16 years of playing experience in both live and studio work. I started to play the sax at the tender age of 6 when my dad bought me my first sax and proceeded to teach me almost everything I know today.
Since then I have been involved in many different bands playing many different types of music including rock & pop, blues, jazz, Latin and contemporary and classical music.
At the moment I am working with various touring bands. The first of these is an Elvis tribute band called 'The Elvis Collection'. This band tours extensively throughout the UK all year round. Details of tour dates can be found at www.benappleby.co.uk
The second and most frequent is the UK's number 1 Pink Floyd tribute band called 'The Spirit of Pink Floyd Show'. We are currently touring across the UK and venturing into Europe this summer with gigs booked in Portugal, Denmark, Sweden and Norway as well as a large tour planned in Australia and New Zealand early next year.
I am also busy with my own band, 'The Ben Appleby Band'. The Ben Appleby Band is a five piece ensemble made up of vocals, drums, bass, keyboard and an array of saxes ranging from soprano to baritone. It brings together various soulful influences as well as a modern musical background to produce a captivating, original collection of soul, funk and RnB classics in an evening of sophisticated, sensuous entertainment
