No Nostalgia Sax – Baritone Sax for Standout Events Hi, I’m Josh—a baritone saxophonist with over 20 years of experience and a passion for bringing fresh, feel-good music to all kinds of events. My sets blend modern pop, timeless soul, funk grooves, stripped-back acoustic reworks, and sax dance music—reimagined through the bold, resonant tones of the baritone sax. Think Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Beyoncé, Amy Winehouse, Kool & The Gang, Kungs, Klingande, and more. Whether it’s a wedding, private party, drinks reception, or celebration, I create sets that connect with people—rhythmically, emotionally, and authentically. I perform solo with a fully wireless, battery-powered setup that’s completely self-contained and perfect for events of up to 50 guests. For larger crowds, I can plug into your venue’s PA system. 🎷 Based in Glasgow, performing across Scotland 🎶 Requests welcome—let’s make it personal 💡 Custom arrangements and compositions available 📍 Travel within Greater Glasgow included

Perfect Surprise Entertainment! Josh performed for us at our friend’s hen party as surprise entertainment and he was fantastic! Josh was extremely accommodating of our requests and absolutely brought the vibes on the night. Thanks so much Josh, we loved it!

If you’re after something a bit different, but also ver accessible, No Nostalgia Sax is the one to book. Josh brings a fresh, modern vibe with a great mix of pop songs for folk to dance and sing along to. Would definitely book again!
