I even played some sax with the great pianist Frances Knight (who has played with saxplayers such as Tony Coe and Paul Booth) at my own wedding reception! Here's the Youtube vid, where you also get to see all the wonderful homemade cakes by my wife!

This is a part of a performance for the 2007 Addington Street Historical Festival in Ramsgate, Kent, where the 'rule' was no music newer then 1945.
Winner of the 2007 Maidstone Buskers Festival.
I have been playing saxophone for twelve years and teaching the instrument for over four. I play many styles of music and have played at various venues all over Kent for various events, including street festivals, charity events and fetes. Christmas is traditionally my busiest time and I have led a group of my students but also solo to backing tracks. I am also a member of the Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Band, which is made up of wind and brass players of all standards.
If you want to keep your live music costs down, then please get in touch. For your wedding, reception, party, fete, street festival, barbecue or charity event, my charges are from £0 - £200, depending on the nature of the function. All rates are negotiable. I would like to add that my cheap rates are no reflection on the high quality performance I will give you. I love to play and pass on my love of playing to you, the listener and I believe in bringing that to your event, without overcharging.

Addington Street Historical Street Festival, Ramsgate (solo)
Addington Street Christmas Festival, Ramsgate (solo and with sax students)
