Clare Burt is the lead alto player in the band, doubling up on the soprano sax. Big bands have been a part of her life since her schooldays and she loves playing and watching the dancers! Clare also plays in an Oxford-based sax quartet.

When not making music, she is disguised by a different name and is a Professor of Epidemiology and Research Design at the University of Oxford.

Clare likes to keep her options open, so her favourite band pieces are: Time After Time, Beyond the Sea and Moonlight Serenade. Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps!!
