About / Biography

I play saxophones with backtracks. I can augment with a guitarist if needs be. I have just finished a ten year stint in the West Indies playing the clubs and up-market restaurants. I have a wide repertoire playing easy listening soulful sax. You can check me on Soundcloud under Miles Shorter. I also have a 4 piece R and B band (Dr. T-BONE) working out of Chester. I am based in North Wales but am prepared to travel if necessary. I have worked as a session musician both in London and Johannesburg. I am now back resident in the UK.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

For solo work I use a very small area no more than 2 by 2 metres. For Dr. T.Bone we need preferably 5 by 3 metres.


What information do you require about a venue?

Directions or post code. Opening times/parking.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes I use a small P.A. for solo work, or if for the Rn'B band (Dr. T.Bone) I have a larger P.A. system.


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

Yes I can supply background music between my sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Paul Macartney and wings at the Hammersmith Odeon.


What's your favourite type of event?

Corporate gigs, weddings, private parties and Up-Market restaurants for solo work. Concerts and pub gigs etc. for Dr. T.Bone.


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

I have been playing for many years at venues throughout the world, with many sessions and TV work under my belt.


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

David Sanborn, Grover Washington, Sting, there are so many greatest songs to choose from, I would put A Whiter Shade of pale among the best of them.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

For my solo work the set up is minimal. I would normally do two sets of 45 to 60 mins. but am happy to play for longer if needs be.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, weather permitting.


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

I'm happy to play requests if it's suitable to the gig and practical and if I know them, otherwise if a special tune is needed for an event I'm happy to play it if given prior warning.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I will always get paid and often get asked back so I guess that's not a bad judge.


Who have you played with?

Paul MacCartney, Bobby Hatfield (The Righteous Brothers), Kenny Chesney, Shakin' Stevens, Alvin Stardust, Lulu, Mud, and many more...
