About / Biography

Dave Colebourn has been playing the sax for fifteen years and provides sublime accompaniment to any part of your event, right from accompanying couples down the aisle to the most roof-raising parties!

He always puts boundless energy into his performances, and his greatest strength is how easily that energy infects the audiences that he plays to. All this is delivered by a calm, friendly professional with an eye for detail and your perfect atmosphere as his top priority!

Previous clients have cited the great choices of music, easy-going and prompt communication, and, of course, emphatic sax playing as highlights of their experience with Dave. He boasts a repertoire of nearly 300 songs (songlist available on request). He will always offer to learn two of your favourites, too, particularly for the big moments of weddings such as your ceremony, breakfast entrance or first dance. Any and all quotes from Dave will also include:

  • A compact, discreet wireless microphone, equally suitable for dancing with your guests at a party or creating a poignant reception ambience.
  • A battery-powered, plug-free PA system. Suitable for most outdoor spaces or rooms up to a capacity of around 100.
  • PAT-tested equipment and Public liability insurance included.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

My battery powered PA system is suitable for audiences of up to 120 people and can be placed virtually anywhere, foregoing my need for a power soccket. I require a minimum of 3 square metres of space, and one parking space.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I am fully self-contained and bring everything I'll need for my performance. I do not offer lighting support.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, absolutely! I provide an iPod service between sets in the same location as standard, free of charge for a minimum of thirty minutes. Please ask if you can extend this service for additional time, across different locations, or before or after the timings of my performance. This could incur a modest additional charge, optimised to each booking.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I require 30 minutes to set up for most performances. If I need a particularly large PA system, I would require 1 hour.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I offer all my clients unlimited song choices from my extensive songlist, in addition to two bespoke requests that I'll learn specifically for your event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have cited the great choices of music, easy-going and prompt communication, and, of course, emphatic sax playing as highlights of their experience with me.
