After meeting the Charming Strings collective, I decided to invite them to play at a private family/friends event to keep the atmosphere sophisticated. They were loved by all and the music went down a treat. I cannot recommend them enough. The ladies were lovely to chat to when they were not playing and brought an energy and discussion to what otherwise might have been a boring event.
