Mike Smith (Saxophone Player)

Welcome to My YouTube Channel!

Musically promiscuous and proudly ginger.

I play saxophones and keys for a wide range of artists, juggling gigs, tours, and studio work.

I picked up the sax at 12—mainly to dodge Tuesday maths lessons—and later graduated from LIPA with a first-class honours degree in 2005. Since then, I’ve toured the world with countless acts and now teach at LIPA when I’m not on the road.

Currently, I’m working as a session musician, playing sax and keys for a variety of bands and artists. I’m on tour with Elkie Brooks and Echo & The Bunnymen and have played with acts as varied as The Damned, Tony Hadley, and ABC.
