Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026
"Simon was absolutely fab! He took us through a lot of options and we went for light music during photos and with our DJ for the reception.
Having Simon play was a real highlight of the day. He was amazing and so many guests said just how fun it was. There were a few songs me and Steve really wanted - he really got what we were looking for with the music for the day.
We loved him and I don’t think it would have been quite the same without him playing and the atmosphere he naturally brought.
Great guy and a really great day"

Mike was super helpful easy to deal with in the lead up to the event, and the band were fantastic on the night and our guests loved the music! Highly recommended, we will definitely be using them for our next event."
