Drew Stansall ex The Specials
"I’ve used Drew for a few events at my pub, he is always great at adjusting to the event need and giving the guests a great experience. We also had Drew play at our wedding and he was amazing. He learnt the song I wanted to play us back down the aisle. Amazing saxophone, friendly and easy to work with - would 100% recommend and looking forward to working with him again over Christmas :)"
