Clare Mactaggart

I’ve worked on a great many exciting projects with some superb artists both live and in the studio. My work has taken me around the world to a number of exciting locations which has been a very exciting way to spend the last 25 years. I'm very comfortable in a broad range of styles, improvised or reading, including gypsy jazz, bluegrass, country, folk, blues, classical and pop. I can play solo for your wedding or function with professional backing tracks in whatever style you choose, gypsy jazz being my favourite! If you want a bigger group with violin featured, just ask, I work with a number of other fantastic musicians and can put together whatever act you need for your event whether jazz, rock, folk or a string quartet. I’m a competent and inventive improviser, composing parts on the fly should that be required. If you're after the the lush rich sound of real strings on your recording or event do get in touch. I can also do backing vocals, simple mandolin and tenor banjo parts if you need those. I love to sing... If you'd like to work with me, just ask and let's have a chat about your needs!
