Thanks to Marty for playing at my wife’s 30th birthday party. He was the consummate professional and played tunes that got the party going and people up on the dance floor. He was integral to a wonderful night with his performance creating fond memories. I would definitely book Marty again. Thank you. David and Sarah

Booked for Birthday party

We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael perform at our birthday celebration at home, and his music truly elevated the evening. From the very first note, he created an atmosphere of joy, elegance, and soulful energy that captivated everyone present. Michael’s mastery of the saxophone is remarkable. He was punctual, well-prepared, and seamlessly adapted to the flow of the party. His warm presence made guests feel at ease and added a touch of sophistication to the celebration.

About supplier

On retiring from business I wanted to get back into music, so taught myself the Saxophone. Started busking for charity, and now I now play regularly for parties, weddings, restaurants and special occasions. I'm proud of my lyrical performance which draws great comments and reviews.
