Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

So many to choose from but being invited to the Las Vegas Jazz Festival two years running was a highlight.


What's your favourite type of event?

I've done them all but lately playing our local jazz club tops it. That and my solo lounge gig.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Started doing casuals at eighteen. By the following year I was on the road fifty weeks a year for five years. Great apprenticeship!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

If I had to pick one, it would be Miles Davis.


What keeps you going?

There's nothing I enjoy more than playing saxophone for people that are connecting socially. The world can use more connection and enjoyment.

Happy to play outside. Anything electronic must be on a level solid surface under cover to protect from rain or direct sunshine.
