I have played sax and flute professionally for 25 years , I have had lots of experience in many fields of music including swing, soul, funk, salsa, motown, classical, shows, easy listening, jazz and smooth jazz.
I can play solo (with backing tracks) or within a duo/trio/band. I am self contained with my own PAT tested PA and lights, I have £10,000,000 Public Liability Insurance.
I currently play with a Ratpack show backing Anita Harris and Kenny Lynch, a 50's band touring the UK and abroad. Played with a Motown show, Beegee's show, 70's & 80's band and many function bands and big bands backing Tony Hadley, The Beverley Sisters, Denis Lotis, Max Bygraves and Joe Longthorne.
IF YOUR EVENT IS WITHIN THE ULEZ OR CONGESTION CHARGE AREAS, THESE COSTS WILL HAVE TO BE ADDED ON TOP OF THE FEE
Wow 🤩 Paula was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. She was punctual, reliable and accommodating! Paula plays the saxophone 🎷 beautifully and mesmerised is all. Thank you Paula!!
Paula was phenomenal! A true professional and an expert in her craft! He attention to details was amazing, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed Paula's performances :-D
Paula was amazing and all our wedding guests raved about how magical our drinks reception was. Prior to the day Paula responded promptly to all messages and was so accommodating. We booked Paula back in December 2020 and got Married in May 2022. During that time she kept in contact and gave us an updated list of her songs as well as the chance to add a few of our own special requests free of charge. It was an amazing addition to our day and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Paula again.
Great service!
Paula is excellent !!!!
The UK has been in lockdown due to Covid-19 for almost a year. Due to my dad's health he has kept himself in total isolation for this period. He made the best of this time by learning to play the sax.
I decided it would be a nice surprise for Paula to come and play her sax on his birthday. In line with the governement's new restrictions, my parents sat in the garden enjoying her music on a beautiful spring afternoon. My mother described the afternoon as a really joyful occasion and she felt as if she had been on holiday. The neighbours could hear her playing aswell and said that her music really lifted their spirits too:)
Paula is a very warm and friendly lady and with her musical talent, she brings something very special to an occasion! I would highly recommend Paula if you are looking to brighten up your occasion and create something memorable !
We hired Paula to play during our wedding's cocktail hour and she was an absolute hit! Everyone was very complimentary about her performance and how classy she made the event, and she was also able to play a couple of requests from myself and my wife (the bride and groom). Paula was punctual, easy to communicate with and added something special to our big day - we would highly recommend her!
Paula was honestly amazing! I literally cannot fault her at all. She kept all of my wedding guests entertained and everyone commented on how talented she is! I would 100% recommend her! Communication up until my wedding day was exceptional and I really cannot sing her praises enough! Thanks again you were excellent!
Paula was professional friendly and knew exactly how to manage the night!!
Cannot recommend enough!! Fantastic night thank you Paula
"We hired Paula through Poptop for our Wedding reception yesterday.
She made a special effort to go through the arrangements with us, in particular the timings, and which songs we wanted.
She was completely self contained, and the quality and delivery of her music was truly exceptional.
Hiring Paula made the wedding something really special.
All of the guests commented on how good she is, and what a great time they had.
I would highly recommend Paula for similar events- she is a true professional, and a great entertainer.
Many Many Thanks- You really made it a very special day."
I just want to say a massive thank you to Paula! She was an absolute star performer! Even though the itinery for the day didnt go to plan, Paula was happy to stay until i made my entrance and played the sax beyond the time frame agreed. She was all smiles and really lit the whole place up with her instrument playing away. I would 100% recommend Paula to anyone for any event. I got some great feedback from my guests saying that they very much enjoyed all of the music. I think it set the perfect ambience for my wedding and couldnt of hired anyone better! Thank you very much. Ruhena & Oli x
Absolutely fabulous. She helped make the evening a great success, a lovely person who genuinely wanted to give her very best. Many guests commented how much they enjoyed Paula’s music. We would highly recommend her. Thank you.
"Paula was such a considerate and generous entertainer. Weeks before the party she provided me with all of her set lists in order for me to compile my perfect playlist.
Paula was in touch with me by email and phone beforehand and even on the day when she got stuck in some severe traffic on the A12 (a lot of our guests were also stuck in it!) she kept me informed throughout.
Paula’s set on the day was wonderful. She played beautifully and all of our guests were impressed and asked us for her details with a view to making bookings of their own. We were thoroughly impressed and would definitely use Paula again without hesitation. It also helped that she was such a genuinely lovely person and clearly cared about really making the event special!"
We cannot speak highly enough of Paula. Everyone was so taken with how professional, nice and friendly she was and we would certainly ask for her to play at another event. Many of our guests asked how far she would travel as they would love to use her services. Paula helped make a lovely day even more special.
First class very nice lady
"Paula was absolutely fabulous , we gave her a standing ovation when she finished.
Everyone thought that she was professional and a really lovely lady .
We would thoroughly recommend her . Sheila & Peter Viccary"
"Paula played at our volunteer social event and she was brilliant. Every attendee loved her! She is a true gem and will accommodate to your needs and musical tastes. Paula is an extremely talented and warm person and it was a pleasure working with her. We would definitely love to see her performing in our future events.
Well done, Paula! And thank you very much!"
