Josh Plays Sax
Pure pop. Good vibes.
Professional Saxophonist for Standout Events.
Hi, I'm Josh.
I’m a Glasgow-based saxophonist with over 20 years of playing and performing experience. My sets are an eclectic mix of iconic, feel-good, pop music to create only the best vibe for your special occasion.
My approach is simple: play good music, and play it well. No gimmicks, no posturing - just great music that people love and connect with.
As a formally trained musician (BA hons Popular World Music, MA Music), I combine deep musical knowledge with a passion for performing.
I’m also a trained sound engineer which means that every track is carefully edited, mixed and mastered to set the best possible tone for your event.
Repertoire
Pure Pop Set
The Pure Pop set is a 1-hour live performance featuring a selection of the best pop music. The focus is on instantly recognisable, feel-good tracks that create a fun and inclusive atmosphere.
Each song is performed on tenor saxophone, adding warmth and soul to familiar tunes. Perfect for getting people on the dance floor — whether before a band or DJ, or as a standalone performance.
