Photo of Events saxophonist Events saxophonist "I would highly recommend Andrew for any events that you have planned! We hired Andrew to come and play at our villa for my mum’s 60th birthday which was a small party of 10 people. Andrew was very communicative through the whole process and adapted the set list according to our requests on the day. The whole family loved having him there and my mum said it was the best birthday she’s ever had!"

Based in Porto 15th April 2026 Jenny Wren Photo of Pugsley Buzzard Pugsley Buzzard "Who ever says 'they don't write 'em like they used to' should take a listen to Pugsley Buzzard's latest album Wooden Kimono. Buzzard is a bewitching songwriter and storyteller often combining groove laden or playful tunes with dark lyrics. Showing off his renowned blues - jazz piano style and infectious raspy vocals, Pugsley is complemented on this album by a top band of horns and down and dirty guitar, that makes for hot listening. ".
