John Mensah17 Nov 2025

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.

Booked for Birthday party

I do not yet have any photos. Gina was delightful. She came to the venue (in appalling weather) in good time to familiarise herself with it. She played beautifully and her playing and musicality was exceptional. All our guests commented on this. She blended into the room, was not obtrusive but lent an air of elegance. One of our guests is Irish and was especially complimentary. She was adaptable and charming. I would have no hesitation in using her again if I ever wanted an artist in similar circumstances.

Lewis was amazing. Played the perfect setlist for our son's christening and all our guests loved him. Great voice. We will definitely be having him play for us again.

Booked for Wedding

Alastair was absolutely fab in every form. Great communication from the moment we reached out to him. He was so flexible with postponements wnd just simply made everything so easy. Nothing was too much trouble. He even came up to me on the day , gave me a hug and wished us well. One of the biggest things I said when firstly booking him, was that I didn’t want him too loud and making guests squint and barely hear themselves talk. Alastair completely agreed and told me I didn’t need to worry. He made sure he moved around the room. All guests would not stop going on about our music choices and said the sax really did fill the room / venue beautifully! We had jubel Klingande playing for our entrance into the wedding breakfast room and it was literally perfect. Could not recommended Alastair enough!!! Thank you so much
