Smooth Sax - Saxophonist - Bristol, South West Event Location: RAF Wyton Huntingdon Event Type: Drinks Reception 1st December 2023

Soulful Sax played for out guests during a 1920s Jazz themed Winter Ball. He was incredible, a wide range of songs were played, really adding to the atmosphere of the ball and entertaining guests as they arrived. Communication was great and the artist was very punctual with timings. Fully recommend.
