Lewis absolutely made our wedding!! He’s extremely talented at both saxophone and flute. If you’re looking for that ‘live band’ feel but with a way bigger range of song choices then Lewis is your man. He was really receptive to our taste in music, read the dance floor vibes like a champion and even let the odd request through. Can’t wait for mates to hire him for their wedding! I will never forget him playing jazz flute to Toto ‘Africa’. Magic

All guests and even the caterers left with Lewis’ details – he really made the party for us. Even today people are still asking who the musician was. Please can you pass on our gratitude, he really took the event to the next level!

McCallum is making music for the love of it, and it shows in how effortless, deep, and inventive it sounds

The Findaband team made it incredibly easy for us to source three awesome DJ's for a series of events we hosted. General Lee, Peter Urlich & Lewis McCallum were all experts at reading the tone/mood of the room and matching the music accordingly. The sound quality was amazing, and the set-up was quick and efficient. Our whole experience was faultless from start to finish, and I will definitely be recommending these guys to anyone looking for music for an event!! Thank you team.

Lewis was great as expected! Once on stage the ladies LOVED him! Such a good vibe and played all the right tunes to get people dancing. Everyone loved the incorporation of the sax and he definitely knew how to read the crowd.

Brooke Edwards | FAB Group

We hired Lewis McCallum who was even better than we expected! He was great at reading the room, when to change the genre of music etc and everyone loved his sax playing. I only wish I had more events to hire him for
