Summary

After more than 20 years of performing around the world as a multi saxophonist and vocalist I've gained the ability to have a strong stage presence and deliver exactly what is required for each individual audience. Having performed in such diverse locations as a north-east working men's club to the palaces of the Sultan of Brunei I have become a truly rounded performer!

I am able to perform all genres from jazz to rock and pop and even classical. My repertoire is in the region of 15 hours of saxophone and vocals and my vocal range is extremely broad……

I've always enjoyed working in a team environment whether it be a band or a theatre show and and have relished my creative role in productions.
