About Me

I'm a classically trained (Royal College of Music) pro sax player living in South London and playing gigs all over the UK and further. I play regularly with THE MARKUS and FIVE STAR SWING as well as doing deps and sessions including studio work. If you need a Baritone sax player - that's me! I also regularly play Alto, Tenor and Soprano sax and Flute. Very occasionally I might even play the Clarinet or Bassoon. I've performed at VENUES across Europe ranging from small bars to the ROYAL ALBERT HALL; WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL; ST STEPHAN'S CATHEDRAL, VIENNA; KODALY INSTITUTE, HUNGARY; BULL'S HEAD, BARNES; JAZZ CAFE; 100 CLUB and music festivals such as SUIKER ROCK. I've done live sessions and interviews on LOCAL and NATIONAL RADIO and appeared on various TV channels including MTV EUROPE; BBC; TMF; THE PERFORMANCE CHANNEL and BELGIAN TV; also RADIO 2 and JAZZ FM (now Smooth FM) amongst many. I've played alongside and supported some great musicians including KOOL AND THE GANG; ROBBIE WILLIAMS; DON LUSHER; SHEILA TRACY; ROY WILLOX; CHRIS SMITH; PETE BEECHILL; BOB CHILCOTT; STUART BEDFORD; PAUL GOODWIN; ALISON BURY and SIR DAVID WILLCOCKS.
