Lloyd is still playing in a fabulous
band in Meota SK
We had a superb time in the London store. After
making the trip home to Northumberland the Firebird
and Flamingo are settling in nicely. Many thanks to
Adrian for his patience and expertise. You made an
old sax playing bird very happy.
I took the Firebird to a gig with Jazzhaven in
Hexham. It was an absolute delight to play.
I couldn't stop smiling all night. The Flamingo
came with me and "Sheds on Fire" our Community
Band. A good night was had by all.

The Jazz Funk Collective is a band
made up of young musicians from the Worcester Park area of
Greater London / north Surrey. The idea of the group is to
develop improvisational techniques and band interaction in a
live jazz setting as well as having loads of fun rehearsing,
recording and performing around the local area and beyond.

and you are always so helpful I have included a photo of
myself playing Bari sax with my big band at Christmas.I
don't normally play baritone but stepped in and was playing
my band leaders Yamaha. What a great sax to play! Other
players can contact me

chat with other sax players. Kind Regards, Colleen
Just thought I'd send you an email
from 4 sax players who all play in a Marching band based in
Braintree Essex, (Marxmen)
We all play saxes purchased from your shop 2 Trevor James and 2
Sakkusu. It has made a huge difference to the sound of the band
now that the saxes are part of it, indeed we have won the
National Junior League and secured a place at National Finals to
be held in Coventry in Oct.
Many thanks for all your help when we came on various occasions
and indeed also dragged our friends along who also play, I have
no hesitation in recommending your shop and it's very friendly
staff to anyone.
I have attached a few pics of us after we had just come from
presentation of awards. Yours faithfully Melanie Barker.
I thank you again,
with all your staff
I make a maximum
advertising for your store on the French forums, and i put
your link on my various web sites. Have a nice week. RONALD
