Mandy Sutton
(Tenor Sax)"It's good to hear a woman play the Saxophone with balls!"
Started on the PTA and wedding circuit on C melody sax with Warwickshire Band Fellow Strugglers.
She was part of the 15 piece Chinewrde band that wowed Sidmouth in 2002 and that led to an invite to join the five piece horn section of the mammoth Mallemarokers band.
Gigs with at Warwick, Haddenham, Bromyard and culminating in the Friday LNE at Sidmouth 04 with both Gordon and Nick calling.
When Mallemarokers wound up she joined Steamchicken in 2004 and has been part of the successful band that is so busy on the circuit.
Influenced/inspired by Jean Frechette, Stanley Turrentine, Frank Cully, Coleman Hawkins and teh entire horn section of Jools Holland's Big Band; favourite gig this year Charleston Chasers with Zoltan Sagi sitting in.
Mandy plays her favourite sax - a Yanigasawa 901 and especially likes it 'cos it's black and shiny. The Yamaha 602 is her outdoor instrument - MIR in Halesowen look after them (ie straighten them out after accidents entirely unrelated to her alcohol consumption....)New in 2007 - watch out for the appearance of a new baby (soprano sax that is).
