Experienced professional saxophonist performing sophisticated solo jazz, pop, soul and dance with quality backing tracks- perfect for drinks receptions, parties etc. Or playing alongside DJs for Ibiza style evening entertainment. Alastair can perform solo with or without access to electricity for drinks receptions and has a wide range of musical options. He has years of experience performing at weddings, corporate events and parties as well as bars and clubs in the UK and abroad.

As an additional option, I perform with a live pianist as a duo. I can also provide a trio or quartet with bass and drums. Let's chat about your precise wishes.

Alistair was amazing and was definitely the cherry on top of the cake for our surprise party! He was extremely accommodating, both beforehand when discussing the event and playlist and also on the night when we had sound difficulties with the bar, he literally saved the night! Would highly recommend to anyone considering hiring him - go for it!

Alastair was absolutely fantastic. We had so many positive reviews from our guests on how excellent the saxophonist was and it made our wedding reception and first dance so memorable for us. Both performing on his own and performing in silo with the dj, al was a consumate professional and would be a wonderful addition of anyone's special day. I wholeheartedly recommend al!
