We welcome saxophone players of all ages & abilities to join our band…
Sax Bandits are an all-saxophone band for all ages and abilities – even beginners. We meet once a month, playing arrangements of your favourite rock and pop songs; from Madness to Ariana Grande to Earth Wind & Fire.
The difficulty of the music differs between parts to cater for both rookies and the more advanced wizards. Many of our members had never played music with other people before joining the band, so don’t be shy! Learn to play songs together in a relaxed and supportive environment. You can expect to see an assorted collection of saxophones, people, cakes and wrong notes!
So if you know how to play the saxophone, don’t exile yourself to your bedroom. Jump on the band wagon, make some noise alongside your fellow saxophonists, and become a more confident player!
We take song requests from our members so that you can play the music you love!
Here are the songs that we currently have in our repertoire:
Only a handful of basic music skills are needed to join so learners should not presume they are unworthy. We don’t expect our comrades to have the saxophone skills of a ninja, nor do we leave anyone behind; it’s about making mistakes and making friends who make mistakes, to promote better musicianship.
We offer members the opportunity to play the Baritone Sax (the big one) or the Sopranino Sax (the super-tiny one) in the band! You can bring your own reeds or buy one from us at the session.
Sax Bandits meet once a month on a Sunday in several locations. Get in touch to find out where your nearest Sax Bandits session is happening!
Saxophonists travel far and wide from the distant corners of the shire to participate in this monthly pilgrimage so it’s likely you could lift-share with another saxophriend.
Your first session is free! Members pay a bi-annual or annual sub.
