Full Biography

The smooth sound of saxophone will complement any drinks reception or corporate evening. Playing Soprano Tenor and Alto Sax Mike can adapt his performance to whatever style of music you have in mind. He has many years of experience performing for all kinds of social occasions and he can tailor his act to suit your needs.

Mike has played with many top artists including Craig David, Steve Winwood, Sandi Thom and Kid Creole and the Coconuts in the past year alone.

Since completing his debut album ‘Ginger Tunes’ in 2010 Mike has been playing gigs and jazz festivals up and down the country with his own aptly named "Ginger Tunes" Quartet. The album features his stylish signature writing and sound, described…this easy cool ounding and exquisite jazz soul travelogue glows in its Sanbornesque LA groove – blended with R&B and funkier counterpart part tracks it’s white soul fusion is a joy for the hips and the ears.

Featuring on a new album being released by a famous American Jazz label later this year (2011), Mike has recently been working with many of his idols including Tommy Barbarella, Randy Brecker, Stuart Hamm and Scott Henderson.

He will perform live to backing tracks or can add a female vocalist and Guitarist to make duo or trio options depending on your requirements.
