TIM WATSON SAXOPHONIST Professional, fun and bespoke saxophone arranger and performer, Dr Tim Watson, is a past chairman of The British Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles (BASBWE). He has been very fortunate to have enjoyed an amazing career spanning more than 20 years in the music industry, performing at royal weddings and arranging music for the BBC and Sky and he has been commissioned to perform at celebrity parties and corporate events internationally, playing alongside some of the best musicians at some of best venues. He tells us, “Playing at Glastonbury in front of 300,000 people was a wonderful experience.” Tim adds, “Fulfilling the aspirations and visions of couples getting married that request specific music that’s meaningful to them adds a very personal touch.’ Tim can arrange something bespoke, for example, a memorable piece from when the couple met or a favourite song, whether that’s something mellow or upbeat, from a variety of artists like Led Zepplin, Ed Sheeran, Prince, John Legend or Ellie Goulding. He suggests that couples think about having music playing before their ceremony, evoking memories for all generations. A bespoke arrangement to walk down the aisle also creates a wonderful memory, as does ambient tunes played during the registry signing. Music post wedding ceremony during the reception drinks creates a wonderfully romantic vibe with more reflective pieces played throughout the wedding breakfast. During the evening, club classics and Ibiza mixes alongside a DJ, or independently programmed sets of music to compliment all ages, always go down a storm!
