Jonny D Saxophonist

Overview

Jonny D brings a smooth, captivating saxophone sound to weddings, private events and corporate functions, with a set list that runs to hundreds of songs across romantic ballads, acoustic covers and dancefloor anthems. Whether it's providing a gentle soundtrack as guests walk down the aisle, adding atmosphere over cocktails, or building energy on the dance floor later in the evening, Jonny adapts his playing to suit the moment.

His repertoire spans everything from classic soul and Motown to the biggest current pop hits, alongside a dedicated party set of high-energy anthems for those wanting to turn the volume up. As well as being a genuinely talented player, Jonny is one of the warmest, easiest people to work with on the Hireaband roster — the kind of act who puts nervous couples and hosts at ease from the first phone call.

Jonny D provides his own PA system, is fully insured, and is experienced working with venue sound limiters. Performance options include a one-hour ceremony, a two-hour daytime drinks reception, two 45-minute sets, a one-hour Ibiza-style party set, a two-hour dinner set, or a high-energy "Power Hour," with early arrival and a late finish after midnight both available on request. Jonny D is available exclusively through Hireaband.

Please note, Jonny's instant quote is based on him performing 2 x 45 minute background sets during a daytime event. If you're interested in different timings, such as a 1-hour party 'Ibiza' style set, get in touch! 0141 413 4060 or info@hireaband.co.uk.

Reviews (3)

Hi Gaye, thanks.again for your help in making last Saturday a brilliant evening. I wanted to leave a review for Jonny so I was hoping you could put it on the website.
We hired Jonny for a joint 30th/ Engagement party and he added so much to the evening. We wanted a playlist to get the evening started and Jonny was brilliant including all our requests into the playlist. He was highly professional, a great entertainer and a joy to work with.

Jonny was great, he took requests and played so well, highly recommend.

Thanks for a fabulous performance at our awards dinner Jonny. You got the whole evening off to a great start. A hard act to follow. So you next year I hope.

FAQs

Can Jonny play during our wedding ceremony?

Yes. Jonny offers a one-hour ceremony slot, so he can play as guests arrive and take their seats, for your entrance, during the signing and as you walk back up the aisle as a married couple. Songs like Can't Help Falling in Love, A Thousand Years and Perfect work beautifully on solo sax, and you're welcome to choose your own processional and recessional music.

What does Jonny's instant quote include?

The instant quote is for two 45-minute background sets during a daytime event. If you'd like something different, such as a two-hour drinks reception, a dinner set, a one-hour Ibiza-style party set or a Power Hour, give us a call on 0141 413 4060 or email info@hireaband.co.uk and we'll put together a tailored quote.

Is Jonny just for background music, or can he get a party going?

He does both. Earlier in the day he plays relaxed, smooth sets over drinks and dinner. Later on, his Ibiza-style party set and high-energy Power Hour, with tracks like Mr Saxobeat, Uptown Funk and Titanium, turn the volume up and get guests on the dance floor.

Can we request songs?

Absolutely. Jonny's set list runs to around 150 songs, from Motown and soul classics to the latest pop hits, and he's happy to take requests. His reviews often mention how well he worked couples' and hosts' requests into the evening, so let us know your favourites when you book.

Is Jonny only suitable for weddings?

Not at all. As well as weddings, he regularly plays birthdays, engagement parties and corporate events. Recent bookings include a 40th birthday at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews and an awards dinner, where the client called him "a hard act to follow".

Does Jonny bring his own sound equipment?

Yes. Jonny brings his own PA system, has public liability insurance and uses PAT-tested equipment, which is everything most venues ask for.

Our venue has a sound limiter. Is that a problem?

No. Jonny regularly works with venue sound limiters. Because he's a solo act, he can easily keep the volume where the venue needs it without the music losing its atmosphere.

Has Jonny played at our venue before?

He may well have! He's performed at many of Scotland's best-known venues, including Cameron House, Dundas Castle, Crossbasket Castle, Prestonfield House, Trump Turnberry and Balbirnie House. You can see the full list in the Venues section of this page.

Can Jonny arrive early or play past midnight?

Yes, both are available as add-ons, so he can fit around your day from start to finish.

How do we book Jonny?

Jonny is available exclusively through Hireaband. Just fill in the "Check availability and price" form with your date and venue, and our team will confirm whether he's free and send you a quote.
