Planning a birthday, anniversary or private party? I'm Paul Martyn, a party DJ who also plays live saxophone and sings. You get a proper party disco, with your music, a full dancefloor and sound and lighting, plus live sax and vocals that make it feel like a live band. Based in Nottingham, playing parties across the UK.
40ths, 50ths and 60ths. Clients often come back for the next big birthday too. More on the party sax player page.
Summer garden parties and marquee parties, with the sound and lighting brought to you.
Anniversary parties, engagement parties and family get-togethers, in hotels, function rooms or at home.
Private Christmas and New Year parties, from the first drink to the countdown on the dancefloor. Christmas party details.
Plenty of people searching for a party band or a function band end up booking Paul instead. You still get live music, with live sax and vocals over the big tracks, but every song is played in its original version, there are no breaks between sets, and the setup takes up far less room than a full band. It often costs less too.
And because Paul is the DJ as well as the sax player, there is no handover and no gap: he can change direction the moment the dancefloor needs it. See how it compares on the band alternative page, or watch footage from real events.
A consultation before the party to plan your must-play tracks and a do-not-play list.
House, dance, disco classics and chart hits mixed without gaps, read to the room as the night goes on.
Paul plays live sax and sings over the big tracks, out on the dancefloor with your guests.
A full professional sound system and lighting rig, included in every package.
Most parties book the Party Package, a 2-hour live sax and DJ set. Evening Plus adds background music and an early-evening sax set before the party. Every package includes a full professional sound system and lighting. Prices are "from" prices; your final quote is confirmed after checking your date and location.
A 2-hour Ibiza-style live sax and DJ party set with a full sound system and lighting.
