The act
Live saxophone lifts the music beyond a standard DJ set when Captain Sax takes charge of the room. The Brisbane offering can pair DJ and sax in one performer or expand with vocals, percussion or violin in duo and trio formats. A music brief before the wedding lets you share the tracks and direction that matter, with a wide array of songs available given notice. Dave brings close to two thousand performances of experience to the way the music is shaped around an occasion. The reception is where this belongs, when a live instrumental line can meet the tracks already driving the floor.

Good to know
What to expect
Dave, otherwise known as the Captain, has close to 2,000 gigs on him, and it shows in the unglamorous parts: turning up on time, dressed properly, easy to deal with. Your artist will be in touch beforehand about arrival, load in and setup so you know the plan. Then there's the actual performance, which is live sax over a DJ set and tailored to what your event needs. Expect a few big moments that guests bring up long afterwards.
On the day
For the solo show, four square metres and a reliable power outlet will do it. Add a percussionist or vocalist and you'll want a bit more room, though no venue has proved too awkward yet.
Set List
Rather than a fixed list, you send a music brief beforehand, and you can put together a playlist if that's easier than describing it. Those tracks get downloaded ahead of the day so your favourites are ready to go. Give reasonable notice and a very wide range of music can be prepared, from smooth lounge sax through electro swing to the big room stuff.
Performance options
Book Dave solo on DJ and sax, or as a duo. The bigger version adds vocals, percussion or violin, which lands you a duo or a trio depending on how many you want up there.
