About Amanda

Amanda is a skilled, musical, versatile and friendly professional who plays a beautiful sounding Italian violin with quality backing tracks
Violinist
Canterbury
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Living and predominantly working in Kent, I trained at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music with renowned international soloist Erich Gruenberg and have many years of experience of playing for all forms of performances including orchestral, solo, chamber, session recordings and musical theatre. I am very experienced at playing for weddings no matter how big or small either for the ceremony or reception or both. You can relax if you book me knowing your music is in the reliable hands of someone who won’t let you down, either in creating a wonderful atmosphere or by my attention to detail I’m very friendly and happy to help and discuss with you your ideas for the music and the type of atmosphere you want to create. Whilst I am classically trained and love performing classical music, I particularly enjoy crossover playing covers of film themes, Bridgerton style pop, rock,musicals, folk and jazz songs too and have an extensive repertoire which I am always happy to add to. I am happy to travel to further afield than Kent and I really enjoy my job, playing diverse music for all sorts of people. If you book me you will not be disappointed with either my playing, my reliability or my professionalism. Recent comments have included ‘classy addition to the day’ ‘amazing’ and my personal favourite ’ I never knew the violin could sound so beautiful’ :)

Amanda played at our wedding ceremony and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her. The music was beautiful, especially the bespoke entrance song she kindly played for us. Communication in the lead up was really good and the day went so smoothly. Thank you Amanda!

Amanda played at our wedding on 31st March 2018. Amanda was absolutely fantastic and added a real personal touch to our ceremony. The guests loved listening to Amanda play in preparation for our ceremony and whilst we had photographs. Amanda listened to our special song requests and delivered them beautifully. Thank you Amanda, love Mr and Mrs Greenaway x

Amanda was an excellent choice for evening entertainment at our wedding. She played a range of classical and modern music according to what we asked her for and was entirely professional and friendly. We would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone else.
