Sam on the Sax

Sax at your party.

30ths, 40ths, 50ths, anniversaries, garden parties and marquees. Two 40-minute sets, played to the room.

What it actually looks like

I arrive early, set up in a corner out of the way, and start when you want me to. Most of the set I play from that spot so the sound stays consistent, and I'll move around for a few numbers if the room and the PA allow it.

If you have a DJ, I'll play live over their set, which means no gaps and no changeover. If you don't, I play over my own backing tracks and bring the PA.

Song choices are yours to steer. House, garage, disco, soul, 90s pop, or standards if it's a quieter one.

The practical bits

  • Two 40-minute sets is the standard format.
  • Solo saxophone over high-quality backing tracks, or playing live alongside your DJ.
  • I usually set up in one spot and play to the room. I can move around for part of the set if the space suits it.
  • I bring all my own equipment.
  • I need a power source. Wi-Fi helps but isn't required.
  • I travel anywhere in the UK. Travel costs depend on distance and whether an overnight stay is needed.
