“Andy organised a really super event at the Jay Metcalf Workshop. I really enjoyed the whole Sax Village vibe – other than the workshops themselves there was a repair technician on hand, expert mouthpiece makers, ground-breaking new products from D’Addario and I was happy to represent Sax.co.uk and a small selection of our products. All topped-off with some very delicious food!” – Jim Cheek, sax.co.uk
