About / Biography

Stylish music for any occasion, from upbeat hits to background music

Dan specialises in both upbeat DJ Live Sax and relaxed background music. With a first-class degree in music, Dan loves bringing his expertise and dynamic atmosphere to events across the UK and abroad.
Dan can often be found on the dancefloor of corporate events, weddings and festivals with his iconic LED saxophone and wireless microphone, allowing him to interact with the crowd and keep people dancing all night! Dan can play alongside any DJ, or jam along to his favourite playlist through his PA system.
Having trained at the Royal Northern College of Music, Dan also is an accomplished jazz musician, and loves to provide chilled yet engaging background music at restaurants, hotels and venues. Much of his repertoire includes jazz standards, pop covers and chilled Ibiza tunes, but Dan also loves to take requests. Dan can perform alongside high-quality backing tracks, or with a live pianist in his duo – the Spark Duo.

Dan has a variety of setups available, all aimed at creating the perfect soundtrack to your event:

• DJ Live Sax: Upbeat Ibiza Saxophone hits for the dancefloor. Also available with percussion/bongo player.
• Background saxophone: pop covers, jazz ballads and love songs played on the sax alongside high quality backing tracks through a professional PA system. Also available with pianist as ‘The Spark Duo’.
• The Countymen Party Band: All the party classics led by a professional 4-piece band (vocals/guitar, drums, bass, sax)

Reviews:
'Dan was amazing, got the crowd up from the minute he started playing. We loved him and he definitely made the night. Thank you Dan, would highly recommend you’

'Dan played at our wedding and it was absolutely perfect, I highly recommend him!
He played background jazz saxophone in the venue courtyard while our guests were having reception drinks and canapes. Our guests loved it. We chatted to Dan about the kind of music and atmosphere we wanted to create for our rustic wedding and he did the rest and came up with the most perfect set. My husband is very musical so it meant a lot to him that Dan created such an excellent atmosphere’

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I can operate entirely wireless and battery powered when needed. Whilst I require very little space to perform if necessary, if I am using a speaker on a stand, I need 2x2m for my PA speaker and a space to stand.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please let me know if there is a sound limiter at the venue.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I'm completely self-contained with my sound system.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

I provide a playlist service as soon as my speakers are set up, and I can continue to provide this service after my performances for an additional fee.

What's your favourite type of event?

Any event with a crowd willing to dance and party! Weddings are always a good time

Are you happy to perform outside?

I can perform anywhere! For outdoor performances, I require shade if it's really sunny, and cover if it's raining.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Absolutely, I'm always keen to tailor the music to each client, so please let me know if you have any genre/song requests, and I will do my best to accommodate.
