I’m a Yorkshire based professional saxophonist, performing on the Soprano, Alto and Tenor saxophones. With a keen love for everything to do with performing, I have many years of experience in both playing and teaching a wide range of woodwind instruments, having performed at a wide range of venues through out Europe, spanning everything from small intimate venues to the state ballroom at Buckingham Palace. There is more information on my extensive training and experience on the biography page.
Planning a party, wedding or corporate event? If you are, then why not consider adding live music. The sound of a solo sax, performing a wide selection of musical styles together with backing tracks, will add an extra level of sophistication and class to any event, and can help to create a relaxed atmosphere. This is also a great way of providing live music without the higher costs associated with hiring small groups of musicians.
Just imagine your wedding day, and walking down the aisle to a live performance of a tune which means a lot to you. I already have an extensive (and constantly evolving) library of music to choose from. However, if you have a special piece not currently on the list, but it’s one which would work well as an instrumental performance, I will do my best to get hold of it for you.

Martin played at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic, he was a real crowd pleaser and would highly recommend him to anyone who was looking for a saxophonist.

Martin was a massive highlight of our wedding and was the perfect addition! With such a large list of music to choose from we had the perfect modern/ classic vibes to create a fun atmosphere at our drinks reception, thank you Martin!!

Martin performed at my grandma’s surprise 90th birthday party last weekend. He was absolutely brilliant. He has a huge song list with a wide variety of songs to choose from. Everyone at the party said how great he was and I’m sure we’ll see him again.
Best of all, listening to him play was my grandma’s favourite surprise/present. Thanks again Martin for making her day so special!

Martin played at our wedding on the 3/8/24. He played for the ceremony and for the drinks afterwards which were lucky enough to have outside in the glorious sunshine. I asked him if could learn a song that was special to me and my family that my late uncle played on repeat when we were all growing up (dire straits walk of life) which he played and made us all smile.
I would absolutely recommend Martin. He definitely helped make our day perfect.
Sarah Howie
I honestly couldn’t rate Martin enough, really enjoyed his performance, would definitely 100% book him again for any future get together ‘s, all the guests commented on how good he was, lovely friendly guy too.
Thank you Martin for sharing our special day and making it extra special.
Sonia Brook
I honestly couldn’t thank Martin Little enough for making my grandads birthday wish come true. He battled cancer last year and had a heart attack 3 months ago. And he said if he’s alive for his 80th he wants a sax player and that’s what he got the most amazing sax player. Everyone throughly enjoyed your performance. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to book you again

Thankyou so much for playing on Saturday. We had such a special day and wanted to Thank you for helping make it so special!
Will & Esme
Martin was just fantastic on our wedding day, providing the music for our drinks reception. He even worked out a special request for us and played our favourites when we were there so we didn’t miss them when we were taking photographs. The music was great and he was very kind and professional to deal with. 100% recommend xx
Sian
Would just like to say I can not rate Martin highly enough. He was absolutely fantastic.
Set up whilst we were getting married and played our exit song as me and Steve walked out of the ceremony. This was a planned surprise for Steve. Martin played all the songs I requested and more. Our meal was running late and Martin continued to play over his booked time.
Everyone commented on how good he was. Lovely man very friendly and great saxophonist.
Thankyou Martin
Karen & Steve
Thank you Martin for playing during our recent wedding ceremony and reception.
Our guests complimented your playing and I know some took your details, hopefully you will secure future bookings. Initially your wide and varied music catalogue made it difficult for us to choose our favourites but finally we were able to draw up a playlist – our one regret is that we didn’t book you for longer so that we could hear more of your repertoire.
Thank you once again you made our special day even more special.

Huge thanks to Martin for playing our reception drinks/ welcome for our wedding on 23.9.23 at Danby Castle Barn, in the North York Moors. It was hit and miss regarding if we were going to be able to play outside due to the weather but Martin was adaptable and made my wishes come true to play outside which really made the day / allowed us to enjoy the views. Martin played an array of genres which entertained all of our guests. We had extremely positive feedback from everyone in attendance and we will definitely be using Martin again! It was also great to catch up with Martin at the end of the set – he is a genuinely nice guy and easy to speak to! Thanks again and see you for the next party!! 🎉
Olivia
Martin played at our wedding reception a few weeks back and he was absolutely fantastic!
We requested a song which wasn’t in his repertoire but this wasn’t a problem for him and it was our favourite of the day!
I have seen Martin play twice now and both times his music was incredible.
We got so many compliments from our guests I would 100% recommend.
Thank you again
Nicola & Steven Wilson
Martin was amazing from start to finish. We needed a saxophone player really short notice for a work event and Martin responded straight away. He was willing to travel form Yorkshire to Newcastle with just 2 days’ notice. He even could play the song we requested, a Geordie favourite ‘Local Hero’. Our client enjoyed it so much he got emotional, as he said it took him back to his childhood when his father used to take him to St James’ Park for the Newcastle matches. Martin is so polite, professional, and very very talented. I couldn’t rate or thank him enough! simply brilliant 🙂
Coral
All our guests loved Martins playing and his music and we could choose from a large playlist . We had a great time . Thanks Martin. Excellent
Maureen Byrne
Martin was excellent from start to finish, provided a great atmosphere throughout the drinks reception with a great mixture of music for everyone’s taste, we even had some singing and dancing to his tunes, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and the amount of comments from the guests and Bride & Groom were a testament to how well he was received, thank you again
James
You were absolutely amazing! It made the drinks reception so much fun and our guests absolutely loved it too. Would highly recommend others to book you for their weddings too! Thank you so much
Matthew
Martin was very easy to work with and communicate with leading up to our wedding. He played our first dance song (A Million Love Songs by Take That) and then for a couple hours throughout our wedding breakfast. All of our guests really enjoyed the live music. Martin did a beautiful job! Would definitely recommend him for your next event.
Brianna
Martin was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I cannot thank Martin enough. The music he played for me as I walked down the Aisle made me cry. The whole music he provided was absolutely flawless- he was absolutely incredible. Such a polite gentleman. Thank you so much Martin- we will never forget you.
