Latest Manchester Saxophonist Reviews

Dan Gribbin
Dan Gribbin - Saxophonist - Manchester Event Type: Birthday 14th April 2024
Dan was absolutely excellent and a perfect choice for my 60th birthday celebration. He was on time, looked great and was a good communicator. He played background music for his first set, then moved to a more upbeat tempo set for his second set. Lots of people commented how good he was. I would highly recommend him.
