Heard on Cruise ship" Based in Surbiton, England (20 miles from Crawley) Tony Bennett - Cruise Photo of Midé Midé "Midé was absolutely fabulous! He brought the energy and love. So kind and the best vibes, everyone loved his performance. It was such a treat to work with you and he brought the best energy to the office." Based in London, England (27 miles from Crawley) 23rd October 2026 Midé - Corporate event Photo of Wedding Saxophonist / Saxy Jmusic Wedding Saxophonist / Saxy Jmusic "Amazing saxophonist played all the right tunes and brought a great vibe to the dinner party. Everyone was singing along and dancing. He really excelled our expectations and my guests absolutely loved him and his playlist. Great guy and would definitely use him again. A great time was had! Thanks so much" Based in London, England (27 miles from Crawley) 10th August 2026 Elaine - 40th Birthday Dinner party Photo of Sax by Impulse ⚡ Sax by Impulse ⚡ "I was looking for a Saxophone player for an intimate birthday dinner for my dad's 70th birthday. I found Daniel on Gig Heaven, and was skeptical because I'd never used the site before. However, Daniel was very swift in his responses and also answered all my questions on our initial call. He did a fantastic job on the day and really made the event an enjoyable one. All the guests commented on how good he was and I truly feel he made the event a huge success. I would 100% recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a Saxophone player for their event. He's punctual, reliable and extremely professional." Based in London, England (27 miles from Crawley) 25th June 2026 Elizabeth - Birthday Dinner Photo of The NeoRoots Function Band The NeoRoots Function Band "We hired the NeoRoots for our wedding and would definitely do it again. The performance, song choice, reading the room and crowd were so excellent that they ended up skipping their well deserved break between sets to keep playing and even kept on going after the agreed time. We had just under 100 people at our wedding and everyone loved them and danced to their songs for hours on end. The live performance was just excellent and you could see that they love what they do. I can not recommend them enough and if I ever have a big function I will definitely book them again. Thank you NeoRoots for our lovely evening hand great party." Based in London, England (27 miles from Crawley) 30th March 2026 Oscar - Wedding Photo of Version Collective Version Collective "Hire them for every celebration. They are always incredible and everyone who hears them will hire them too! Zaz has the most incredible voice: soulful, heartfelt, inspiring, funky, beautiful. My wife is a singer so it was always going to be a chore picking the right singer/band for our wedding but after hearing Version play our decision was simple. Version are INCREDIBLE. Zaz is so easy to plan events with. She and her whole band travelled up to the Highlands in Scotland for our wedding and made everything so easy for us. They were in budget, learnt specific songs for our special day and made the whole event bespoke and specific to our needs. We had them as an acoustic two piece for both the church ceremony and post-wedding lawn cocktails, before having the whole 4 piece band give three sets in the evening. Picking songs from their catalogue is so much fun, they are all bangers and performed impeccably by all. Since introducing Version to our friends and family, we have been to at least 5 weddings where they have performed with more in the pipe line. My best man had them for his 30th and 40th birthday celebrations. My wife and I got them back for our 40th birthday parties too. We have travelled to restaurants miles away just to hear them perform. You could say we are BIG VERSION FANS." Based in City of Westminster, England (27 miles from Crawley) Ben (& Lucinda) Thomas - Loyal customer - birthdays, weddings, anniversary
