Christopher Heron

I am pleased to write a testimonial for Chris Heron. He was an excellent student at the University of Hull studying for an honours degree in Music. He served as President of the University Music Society. He contributes significantly to a wide range of music activities both in and outside the university. I have had occasion to engage him for outside gigs. He is completely reliable and delivers an excellent ‘product’. He comes across as an extremely pleasant, able and committed person, with character and individuality. I have no reservations in recommending him

Chris Heron is our first choice for session musician violinist for either studio recordings or live performance. We can always rely on him to deliver a professional job. He is able to learn music quickly either aurally or through notation and go on to give a polished captivating performance. In live situations he is a dynamic and exciting player and has the ability, understanding and confidence to improvise virtuosic solos as well as interesting accompaniment lines which compliment the overall band sound

Chris Heron has organised and taken part in many classical concerts at Holy Trinity Church, leading with confidence and performing as an accomplished and engaging solist. He has a super rapport with fellow performers and with his audience

Stuart McCallum is a renowned guitarist as a soloist in his own right but also for his work with leading bands such as the Cinematic Orchestra and Slowly Rolling Camera. In October 2013, McCallum came to the University of Hull to perform some of his solo material from his Distilled album alongside an 8-piece string sectional put together for the occasion. The calibre of Stuart’s musicianship and his band – Luke Flowers (drums), Phil France (bass) and Rioghnach Connolly (vocals) - meant the string section really had to step up to the mark. And they did – lead by Chris, who committed himself to the gig as a professional does. Prepared, technically spot-on and musically sensitive
