My name is Matthew Stone, I live in Leicestershire, England. I'm a saxophonist, playing throughout the region in various bands. I try to play out at pubs, clubs, weddings and parties as often as I can.

I started off as a child playing the flute and then guitar. The saxophone came later in life, a first short spell in my early 20's, then a renewed interest about 8 years ago. The guitar has been constant, as well as love for jazz, particularly West Coast jazz from the 50's. That came from Dad, and my Mum is a very creative person too!

Playing the saxophone is a spare time thing for me, I have an important day-job, so I apologise If I can't answer all your questions. Please don't ask me for backing tracks or sheet music. I pay for mine, and I think everybody should or there would be no musicians left!

I’m taking a break from posting at the moment, work is a priority- plus I’m “woodshedding” on the guitar!
