Good Morning
Just wanted to let you know that I have posted a new video on my Youtube Channel.
It’s a cover of Ellie Goldings ‘How Long Will I Love You’. A great tune that is very popular with wedding couples.
Recorded at the Medina Wedding Fayre last month. Its recorded just using my phone. I hope you like it.
Please feel free to share the video and maybe subscribe to my channel.
Many thanks
Dave

Today started off with a normal workload of lessons and residential homes to play at and a swing band gig at the weekend.
But then things started to go a little bit astray.
First one lesson had to cancel due to ill health, then another cancelled due to work patterns changing. This was followed with my car breaking down and the garage not being able to look at it until Thursday. This meant I had to cancel a saxophone quartet rehearsal and the residential home as I have no transport! O boy this is becoming an odd week.
However the sun has come out again as I have taken 2 wedding bookings for next year and I am talking to a potentially new clarinet student looking to start lessons and I have also gained some extra practice time as I have 13 new songs to learn for upcoming weddings and events.
I hope that you are all having a good week and I hope that your day pans out as well as mine
Best wishes
Dave

I have just uploaded a video taken at the Medina Wedding Fayre last week.
it’s one of my favourite songs, Elton Johns ‘Your Song’
recorded using my phone, but came out pretty well I think.
I hope you like it.

I have just posted a video that I made yesterday of Dusty Springfields ‘I Only Wanna Be With You.’
A great fun song that would make a good exit song from a your wedding ceremony.
The pictures are some of my favourite places on the Island and some of the venues I have played recently.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Have a great weekend
Dave

I thoroughly enjoyed today as it was a two gig day, and I’ve not had one of those for a while.
Started off at the Briars Residential home in Sandown, always a great atmosphere there and a lovely bunch of people to play for. We had some dancers and plenty of singing from both residents and staff.
I also managed to cover 2 out of the 3 requests from one lady, I have started work on learning the 3rd one for next time.
After lunch it was over to Solent Grange at Wootton Bridge for my regular session with Ali and Leah and the residents there.
A lot more dancing and a good old singalong session too, these guys do love a bit of Rock and Roll to finish the afternoon off.
Tomorrow, I am off to Blackwater Mill near Newport to entertain the Ladies and Gents there for the afternoon, so I will report back on that later.
If you would like a chat about what I can offer for your residents or social club, please feel free to get in touch for a chat.
Many thanks
Dave

The bookings for the saxophone work shop are filling up quickly. We have 4 spaces left, so if you where thinking of joining us, now would be a good to to confirm and bag one of those 4 spaces.
The music is being chosen and will be sent out to participants when it is ready, so that you can have a good look at it in your practice sessions.
For those that aren’t aware of what is going on, I have attached the details here to help. We are open to any player with 18 months experience and we are going to working on large ensemble playing through out the day. Loads of fun and support for everyone and well worth joining us for a day of music making.
Hope to see you there
Dave

This is the time of year when couples start to plan and book for their weddings, and to confirm this I have 4 weddings shows booked to exhibit at in February.
One of the difficulties that couples have, is not knowing what to ask suppliers when they are discussing their wedding.
So I have put together a document relating to the music side of the big day. This should give you a good idea of the things that you should be thinking about, and to discuss with your other half before talking to the musicians about your big day.
If you can think of anything else that should be added to the list, please let me know and I will add it for other couples.
Thanks you for taking the time to read this.
