About

Hi, I’m Josh.

I've been playing saxophone since I was ten, so that’s over twenty five years now! I have a BA hons in Popular and World Music (University of Leeds, 2007) and a MA in Music (University of York, 2012). I love playing, composing and performing music, especially when other people get to enjoy it too! I especially love pop music and disco, especially those with catchy rhythms and groovy bass lines.

I offer three different services.

1 - Pure Pop Hits for evenings to get people in the mood and dancing. Here I have a high energy 50 minute set of timeless hits, from Chic to Dua lipa, from MC Hammer to Bassment Jaxxx. The Baritone sax is perfect for jamming along to these grooves and is guaranteed to get people on the dance floor and having a good time.

2 - Background Music for things such as Cocktail Hour, Post Wedding Ceremony Drinks Reception, Dinner Gatherings. Here I play well-known love songs and iconic saxophone solos reimagined in a Jazz style, accompanied by electronic backings. This approach blends the familiarity of beloved tunes with a fresh, unique sound and my set is designed to bring warmth and soul to any space, creating a chic, playful, and soulful ambience. It is an hour long set

3 - Personalised Performances for Special Moments. Choose any song, arranged to suit your preferred style and mood, enhanced by a customised accompaniment. Throughout the process, we work together to ensure the music perfectly reflects the tone and character of your special occasion, creating an elegant and timeless soundtrack.

Wonderful atmosphere

Josh added a fantastic atmosphere that made our day feel unique and authentic. It was a nice talking point for our guests who have been constantly saying what a lovely touch it was. Really happy we booked Josh Plays The Sax

So talented & accommodating!

Josh played sax at our drinks reception when we got married in June 2024 as we wanted to incorporate live music into the day, before a DJ for the evening.

Josh was such a pleasure to work with, making lots of suggestions and welcoming any specific requests. He did an incredible job of interpreting our vague 'vibe' for the pre-dinner reception, and had a really interesting and varied repertoire that goes well beyond the classics.

Communication and booking was so easy and straightforward. On the day he set everything up himself, and created such a nice atmosphere. We had a lot of guests commenting on what a special and interesting addition it was to the day, and they had a lot of fun identifying the songs.

We'd really recommend Josh - super talented and reliable, he was a dream to work with. Now we just need another occasion to invite him to!
