Show Description
Lloyd's superb solo sax act (with backing tracks or DJ) is perfect for weddings, birthdays, hen parties, etc. Choose from laid-back sets of light pop and jazz standards, or full-on upbeat sets of electro/Ibiza hits played on a LED sax, guaranteed to get everyone up dancing. Lloyd supplies a sound system to suit your venue and uses a radio mic, enabling him to mix with the crowd and join the party! For outdoor or mobile events (e.g. boat trips), he provides a large battery pack so is able to play in areas without mains electricity. For weddings, Lloyd offers a range of packages including music
... for the ceremony, reception and after-dinner party.
Highly versatile, Lloyd also offers:
1. a jazz quartet (Just4Kicks) - this super stylish quartet offers all the jazz standards and loves taking requests - ideal for functions, lunches and launches.
2. a sax and piano duo (Two's Company) - an ultra-chilled duo playing contemporary pop ballads and well-known love songs from the Great American Song Book - great background music for Valentines Day or any occasion needing a relaxed atmosphere.
3. a seven-piece function band (Rock the Mike) - for getting the party started AND ending the night with a bang! Sets contain funk, disco, dance floor classics and current chart toppers.
4. classical clarinet with piano accompaniment - perfect for classy wedding ceremonies, concerts and other events.
