Saxophone in England recording/performing
"I just recently played at a little wedding celebration - the happy couple and their toddler, and me with my little set up playing in the corner while they ate cake. Even the kid danced a little, and they had a good afternoon. Here is their review sent to Encore (who did the booking):

Wedding in Blackfriars Priory, Ladybellegate St, Gloucester GL1 2HN, UKSean was our saxophonist for our elopement wedding and I can not fault him at all! He was so accommodating with our song requests/genre and even played a few songs for our toddler. Absolutely fantastic. The venue commented on how great he was and so did everyone we showed the videos to. Would 110% recommend and would love to have Sean again at another event. Thanks Sean! :)"
The Curious LITTLE big Band
"WOW, we are totally lost for words, what an EPIC performance and evening with you. There is nothing we wanted more from our wedding than for our friends and family to be laughing, smiling, singing and dancing. Because of you this was how the whole evening went. Our photos are going to be picture perfect from the great time that was had by all.
We can’t thank you enough and couldn’t think of anyone better to have celebrated our day with.
Enjoy Christmas and a very happy new year ?
Lots of Love,
India and Ricky Wiltshire (Elmore Court 30.11.2021)"

Steve King Band
"What a fantastic band. We booked Steve & the band for my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary. The music was fantastic and some modern songs were played too. Just brilliant and thank you for making their night extra special"
