Solo Sax with Backing

Sarah offers solo sax sets with backing tracks for your event. She has a bluetooth and wireless (JBL) speaker and a wireless saxophone microphone. This means no wires and no power needed! So she can set up wherever you want the sound to come from - even in a garden or on a patio (assuming there is some shade or cover from sun and rain!)

Sarah absolutely loves a big stage with an enthusiastic audience, but is equally happy on your patio, in a church (see below), a restaurant serandading poeple at lunch or just playing background to a garden drinks party.

Sets can vary depending on what you want, but some of the most popular currently are for champagne receptions or bistro lunches and music with dinner events. Mixing the sound of the saxophone with some great classic jazz and chilled soul backings. Sarah can also help get the party started after dinner with some more upbeat sets with backings or by working alongside a DJ - it’s best to get in touch to discuss what kind of vibe you are looking for.

Live music ‘sets’ would normally be for a maximum of an hour long or if multiple sets are required 45 minutes is recommended for each set, so that she can take a breather. Sarah can put music on during her breaks if that is required - and please feel free to discuss a set list that suits your taste for that, or you are welcome to link your own device to her speaker.

Costs depend on how long you want her to play for and how far away the event is. Sarah lives in north West Suffolk on the borders of Norfolk. Generally a 2 x 45 minutes set will be £250 and one hour £175 - this includes time in advance to learn and source backing for a special tune or artist (assuming it is available). Any travel time over one hour will add some travel expenses depending on the requirements.
