Biography
I was a musician (piano/organ/synth) for many years, and played in numerous bands. I have extensive experience in song writing/recording, and toured the European festival circuit for many years.
In more recent times, I focused on radio show production, and was a radio presenter, producing my own show on a weekly basis.
But perhaps my true love, is collaborating with other song writers, and with lyricists in particular. The better the lyrics, the better the song will be.
Biography
Hi!
I’m Maarten Dreyer.
I’m a Maidstone based hobbyist guitartist and vocalist, and play both electric and acoustic guitar.
I am also a vocalist.
I have about 24 years of experience on the guitar, and mostly play solo / acoustic sets.
Unfortunately I do not have the ability to commit to any band related projects at this time, but if you are looking for a solid solo act to perform a set during an event you have, feel free to reach out to me via e-mail!
Feel free to give my Soundcloud a listen to get an idea of me.
Cheers!

Biography
Based in Maidstone, is the saxophonic superhero soloist known as Kentishsax – your friendly neighbourhood saxplayer.
He has saved the planet on a regular basis, playing in bars, pubs, for festivals, fetes, wedding receptions, even in art galleries and unplugged in open air amphitheatres, on his ninety-one year old (as of 2024) woodwind instrument of choice (the brass of which was smelted by Eighla, a Native American of the Potawatomi tribe in Elkhart, Indiana).
Mostly performing to high quality backing tracks – pop, jazz, soul, swing, Motown, ballads and James Bond songs!
Kentishsax’s alter ego, Dirk Wickenden, has also performed with the Sevenoaks and Tonbridge Concert Band’s auxiliary band and even with the BBC Concert Orchestra, though as Kentishsax, he prefers to go it alone, as he doesn’t have to wait for the bass player to turn up late.
That said, he’d like to form a piano/keys – sax duet and a saxophone quartet. Hating snobbery in music, his pipe dream is to form a Maidstone concert band (made up of the various woodwind and brass instruments), as the current town wind ensemble is incredibly snobbish!
