Josh Plays Sax

Pure pop. Good vibes.

Professional Saxophonist for Standout Events.

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 timeless, feel-good pop music, to suit any occasion.

My approach is simple: play good music, and play it well. No gimmicks - 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.

Alongside playing and performing, I’m a trained sound engineer, so every track on my setlist is carefully edited, mixed and mastered to set the best possible tone for live events.

Repertoire

Pure Pop Set

The Pure Pop set is a 1-hour live performance featuring a mix of iconic pop music from across the decades. 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, singing and dancing along — whether before a band or DJ, or as a standalone performance.

Pricing

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.

Special Requests

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.

Ceremonial Music

I also offer bespoke compositions and performances — whether it's walking down the aisle, a proposal, or a memorial.
