Solo Sax

As a solo saxophonist I can perform alongside professionally recorded backing tracks with my Bose PA system. I have a wide repertoire of pop, soul, dance music and jazz. I can also use ambient Balearic dance tracks to create more of a beach bar feel. Or, for a party atmosphere, I can perform a dance set using a larger PA system and lighting if required.

DJ & SAX

I have many years experience performing and improvising alongside DJs from almost every genre of electronic music. I can be booked to perform alongside your resident or guest DJs and also offer a complete package with a DJ and optional percussionist for an evening’s event (subject to availability).

Professional

I offer a professional and friendly service, I hold full public liability insurance and all of my equipment is PAT tested. Click here to confirm my valid Liability Insurance.

I just wanted to email you to say thank you so very much for yesterday. You really made our ceremony and aperitif feel very special and you were simply amazing and so talented.

I am really happy that I found you in and amongst the many musicians when googling all those months ago and how right I was.

Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the saxophone playing during our wedding pre-arrival drinks.

Polite, professional and extremely talented. A fantastic find and we are both so glad we booked Claire Manners for our wedding. I would recommend Claire to anyone for any occasion.

As a wedding planner I do get to see a lot of musicians but I can honestly say that she is in a different league.

She is so talented, friendly and always looks the part.

Claire would be a great addition to any function. I look forward to recommending Claire to my future clients over the years to come.
