Saxophonists in Nottingham
What to expect from a Nottingham saxophonist
Hiring saxophonists in Nottingham gives events a versatile live music option that works in both intimate and large settings. A professional Nottingham saxophonist will typically offer a broad repertoire, from smooth jazz and soul to modern pop, R&B, Ibiza-style house and chilled background sets. Many perform solo with high-quality backing tracks, while others can work alongside a DJ or as part of a band.
You can expect tidy, professional presentation, flexible set lengths and music tailored to your guest list. Most sax players will discuss your preferred genres, special requests and key moments (entrance, first dance, walk-in music) in advance, so the performance feels integrated with the flow of your event.
Occasions where a saxophonist works well
A saxophonist in Nottingham can suit a wide range of occasions, including:
- Wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions and evening parties
- Corporate events, product launches and awards dinners
- Birthday parties, anniversaries and private dining
- Bars, restaurants and hotel lounges looking for regular live music
- Graduation celebrations, university balls and alumni events
- Outdoor summer parties, garden gatherings and rooftop events (with suitable cover and power)
Because the instrument works at both background and party volume, it is a practical choice when you need live music that can adapt as the event develops.
Practical details for planners
Typical price range: For a solo Nottingham saxophonist, expect roughly £250–£600 for around two hours of playing, often split into two or three short sets. Peak dates such as summer Saturdays or New Year’s Eve may be higher.
Equipment: Most saxophonists provide their own instrument, microphone and compact PA system suitable for small to medium venues. Some also bring LED lighting and can plug into a venue or DJ system if preferred. For very small, acoustic-friendly spaces, they may perform without amplification.
Space & power: Allow a small performance area (around 2m x 2m) plus safe access to at least one standard power socket for amplified sets.
Logistics: Travel within Nottingham is often included, but events further out may incur an additional fee. Many professionals hold public liability insurance and PAT-tested equipment, which some venues require.
Booking considerations: Confirm key timings, song requests, breaks, dress code and whether you need the saxophonist to coordinate with a DJ or band. A written agreement covering deposit, cancellation terms and overtime rates is recommended.
Faq about Nottingham saxophonists
How much does it cost to hire a saxophonist in Nottingham?
Most solo saxophonists charge between £250 and £600, depending on performance length, travel, date, and whether extra services (such as DJ-style playlists between sets) are included.
Can a saxophonist play with my DJ?
Many Nottingham saxophonists regularly perform alongside DJs, improvising over house, chart and R&B tracks. Agree in advance on key songs and ensure the DJ is happy to collaborate and provide a suitable audio feed.
How long does a saxophonist usually perform for?
A common structure is 2 × 45-minute or 3 × 30-minute sets within a three- to four-hour window on site, with short breaks between sets. Longer coverage is often possible by arrangement.
Do Nottingham venues require specific certificates?
Many hotels and corporate venues ask for proof of public liability insurance and recent PAT testing for electrical equipment. Your saxophonist should be able to supply copies on request before the event date.
