Saxy JMusic
"Excellent professional service . Will definitely use him again"
Groove Jacks
"We booked Groove Jacks for the Wrington Beer Festival and they were very professional from start to finish. Arrived on time, were very friendly and helpful and played a great set that had the audience up and dancing, highly recommended."
The Flamenco Folks
"Flamenco Folks put on an excellent show. Gonzalo sings in an intense and powerful way that held our attention throughout even ifcwe didn't understand the lyrics. Ben followed his inflections on guitar sensitively with great technical skill. Faridah the dancer is a compelling sight, beguiling all in read with story-telling expressive hand movements improvising in response to the voice. Their rhythmic seasonal numbers had us all dancing with the cahon in play. Definitely an act to book."
Dance Monkeys
"The Dance Monkeys came to my home for a 50th birthday bash. They had a fantastic set list and they got everyone up dancing and singing.
It was a fantastic night, enjoyed by all. I would definitely recommend these guys, the music was fantastic and brilliant vocals."
Trip For Biscuits
"Thank you for an amazing gig on our Peaky Blinders night. We had lots of good comments about how good the music was. You really help make the night a success."
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! :)"
