I have performed worldwide including countries like Qatar, Belgium, France, Germany to name a few. All events are catered to the client to make their event one to remember!

Amazing! We can not thank you enough for making our day so memorable. Our aisle song was just how we had imagined it, thank you again for your advice about creating the right style with the accompaniment. We had many family members and friends comment on your performance. Thank you again, Linda

I can not thank you enough for making my entrance and my walk down the aisle a moment I'll never forget. That song holds a lot of meaning to us both and you played it beautifully! I appreciate you learning it especially for us. Thank you again x

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

As well performing as a solo violinist I do offer the options of either a violin duo or violin and piano.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I understand that many events can be unpredictable with timings. I advise you to contact me as soon as you feel there might be a problem with timings and I'll do my best to accommodate you. Obviously in the event of having multiple bookings some days this isn't alway viable but I'll always do my best!

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually like to arrive 30 mins before starting so I can set up equipment and tune my violin.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I love to customize my performances to suit the client, Music is a personal preference so I would rather play pieces, artists that I know you love or hold special meanings to you.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I supply all the equipment i need, I just need a power point if using electric violin.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If you are looking for a specific piece for your event this can be stated when replying to my application. I will be able to tell you straight away if its possible to incorporate into the performance 😊
