John Bignall
Tenor and Alto Saxophone

   At the tender age of four years, John started his musical career as a cellist. During his early teens music took a back seat, it was not until a few years later after watching a french film called ‘Subway’ that he decided to play the saxophone.

He has played in various bands over the years.
Playing the baritone for the NYJO 2 (National Youth Jazz Orchestra)
Two and a half years playing for the Band of the RAF Regiment (full-time).

After leaving the RAF band he stopped playing for a while to raise a family and establish a career as a barrister.
