Mike Sax

‘Having been brought up in a musical environment, it was inevitable that Mike would make a name for himself as an artist in his own right, but not without earning his spots first.

Mike has paid his dues as a sideman over the last fifteen years with the likes of Craig David, Kid Creole, Heather Small, ABC and Sandi Thom, Mike was asked to head up the international brand CREAM as their sax player for the CREAM CLASSICS tour in 2016-2017 with K-Klass and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

A musician from the age of 10, he went onto study at LIPA and his diverse and wide ranging experience have given him the kudos amongst his Peers and he has become one of the most sought after sax players in the industry.

YOUR WEDDING/EVENT

Drinks Reception:
This is the most popular time slot for saxophone sets.
I can play a solo saxophone to set the perfect ambience for your guests as they arrive at your drinks reception.
I understand that my job is to compliment and not dominate the proceedings, typically I would start playing as guests arrive.
Performances are usually 2 x 45 minute sets

Ceremony:
During the ceremony you may wish to have entrance and exit music performed on the saxophone, and you may wish to have a musical interlude during the signing of the register. Often couples like to choose music which has a special meaning to them for during the ceremony, so it is best to get in touch to discuss what music you would like played during the ceremony.

Wedding Breakfast:
Often the wedding breakfast is accompanied by a musical backdrop. I can set the perfect relaxed atmosphere with a host of classic or contemporary tunes.

Evening
I can play alongside your DJ, and freestyle over the top of your favourite Ibiza club tunes.

“Hi Mike, We just wanted to say an enormous Thank you for playing at our wedding at West Tower. Having not heard you play in person beforehand it was a big risk but one that definitely payed off. We absolutely loved everything you played and have had so many compliments off guests who agreed that it was the best drinks reception imaginable. The party atmosphere set us up for the rest of the day!! Can’t thank you enough and will hopefully get to hear you play again soon. Many Thanks Danielle & Scott x”
