About / Biography

I play music of the 1920's to the 1960's on Sax and Clarinet accompanied by high quality backing tracks.

My programmes include music by Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Fats Waller, Ray Noble, and George Shearing, presented as discreet background music for dinners, weddings, corporate events, garden parties, functions etc..

For larger events, my saxophone quartet, River City Saxes playing Classical to Swing, can also be available; or for something quite different, Wind & Words - a recital of Poetry and Clarinet on a theme (Travel, Weather, Love, Xmas, Countries of Europe, World War I, 2nd World War)
