"Fabulous entertainment our guests loved you. Thank you very much Martin"
Drew Stansall ex The Specials
"We honestly cannot recommend Drew enough! He played the saxophone at our wedding and was absolutely incredible. One of the highlights was him playing our entrance song as we walked into dinner – it made the moment so special and unforgettable! We had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing he was.
Not only is Drew incredibly talented, but he is also so friendly, approachable and great to communicate with from start to finish. He really helped make our day even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
If you’re thinking of booking a saxophonist for your event, do not hesitate – Drew is fantastic! Thank you so much for being part of our special day!"
Rich Hazlewood
"We had the pleasure of Rich singing last night at my Dad’s 80th party.
What a voice and he played a great selection of songs which everyone loved. He made the atmosphere amazing and everyone was dancing, or foot tapping!
If you are looking for the wow factor , this guy has it all.
We will definitely book him again.
Thanks Rich, you put a smile on many faces, and I’m sure everyone is still humming those tunes this morning 😊"
Justin Holcroft
"Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery."

Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo
"We booked Casado for our wedding on the 14th March 2020 and would highly recommend them. Sharon and Martyn were professional, supportive and made our ceremony very special. From the very beginning, Casado were there to support our ideas, offer suggestions and took away a huge element of stress by liaising directly with the venue which was a great help on the lead up to the day. Casado offer great flexibility with regards to what they can offer, for our ceremony we had solo guitar whilst guests were seated and then violin and guitar duet for the ceremony including music whilst signing the register. Casado are excellent musicians with lots of experience and the feedback from our guests was amazing. Thank you for being part of our special day."
