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.
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.

The Cocktail Hour Set set is a one-hour performance featuring well-known pop songs reimagined with custom Latin-style grooves and acoustic backings. The result is a unique, vibrant sound to uplift any event.
Ideal for cocktail hours, guest arrivals, or background music.

My rate is £285 per set, which includes travel within Glasgow. For areas outwith Glasgow, travel costs are added to your quote. I plug into the venue's sound system or work alongside your DJ, or can provide my own PA for smaller or home events.
Please note, my 2027 rates are £325 per set.
I'm happy to incorporate special song requests into your set — just let me know in advance of your performance date so I can arrange it properly and ensure it fits seamlessly within the flow of the set.
I also offer bespoke compositions and performances — whether it's walking down the aisle, a proposal, or a memorial.
