My Information

I'm a UK based saxophonist with many years of experience in all areas of live performance. I teach at LIPA, and also offer private tuition from home or via Skype. Having started to play at the age of 12 (so that I could escape Maths lessons on a Tuesday), I graduated from LIPA in 2005 with a first class honors degree in music.

So far I have worked with the likes of Steve Winwood, Sandi Thom, Tavares, Craig David and Kid Creole to name a few. After releasing my debut album in 2009, I formed a band under my own name: Mike Smith's "Ginger Tunes Quartet" have been busy playing the jazz venues & festivals of the UK.
