We’d book him again in a heartbeat." 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Julian Christopher Julian Christopher "Julian played the saxophone for the first hour as our guests arrived for my dad's birthday, and he was absolutely brilliant. His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it. Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event.
