Shadow Sax: Experienced and highly professional solo saxophonist playing mainly mellow accessible jazz and/or pop through the decades. In the run up to Christmas I also become Santa Sax playing jazzy Christmas classics in full Santa suit. Fully self contained, radio mics, choice of pro battery powered speaker or full PA. Optional stage lighting. Optional mini gazebo for outdoor gigs. I'm available to perform 365 days of the year 24/7 and play weddings, parties, corporate functions, concerts, care homes, pubs, clubs, festivals, restaurants, cafes, you name it! I'm also a songwriter and band leader so am able to provide larger ensembles from duos to quintets. Midlands based with reliable car and willing to travel.
