Colette is a UK-based violinist and electric violinist with a breadth of experience performing at corporate parties, luxury events and weddings both in the UK and around the World. From Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, to Switzerland and Serbia, Colette has wowed audiences globally. She has performed on-stage to crowds of up to 50,000 and played with the cast of Lord of The Dance on the Britain's Got Talent final to an audience of over 13 million. In 2015, Colette joined the cast of Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance as their on-stage violinist, holding a residency at the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End. Since then she has joined them on their European and World tours, performing in revered venues such as the Berlin and Prague O2 arenas and the Taipei Arena in Taiwan. Another classic on the West End Colette has played with the orchestra of Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and regularly undertakes commercial work for prestigious corporates. She is also in demand from TV companies and has worked on both the X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing, Top of The Pops as well as Britain’s Got Talent and Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. She has shared the stage and performed with artists such as Bastille, Lady Gaga, Gary Barlow, Louisa Johnson and James Arthur. Whether the event calls for a classic and sophisticated accompaniment to a drinks reception, a high energy performance alongside a DJ at a party or nightclub, or beautifully setting the scene as the bride walks down the aisle, Colette will add the bespoke touch to any occasion. Colette can provide her own amplification with a top of the range Bose L1 compact system that is suitable for up to 150 guests and with her wireless system she can roam freely and play to guests at any event.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I can provide string duo, trio and quartet options.

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

I always try to be as flexible as I can to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about an hour before the performance time. As soon as the PA (if you have requested this) is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere.

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

My set list is often tailored to each event and I am more than happy to discuss any specific requests you may have.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. I bring my own instruments, playlists and wireless microphone equipment and can provide a professional Bose PA system suitable for up to 150 guests. Larger events I will need a sound system provided.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I am more than happy to discuss any specific requests you may have. As long as there is enough time prior to the event, learning new music should not be a problem for solo events.

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I work closely with clients to tailor each performance to their special occasion. Whether it is a high impact and show stopping performance on the dance floor, or some light background music for a drinks reception, I provide that bespoke touch to any event.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed all across the world in some of the most prestigious venues. Such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, The Sage Gateshead, Bridgewater Hall and Wembley Arena, Berlin and Prague O2 arenas and the Taipei Arena in Taiwan.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I enjoy performing and listening to an eclectic mix of genres. From traditional folk music, jazz to dance and house. I enjoy taking inspiration from all types of music to include in my performances.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I have performed all across the world in some of the most prestigious venues. Such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, The Sage Gateshead, Bridgewater Hall and Wembley Arena, Berlin and Prague O2 arenas and the Taipei Arena in Taiwan. I have worked with Bastille, Lady Gaga, Gary Barlow, Louisa Johnson and James Arthur.

I cannot say how much Colette made our wedding day special. We appreciate her making the trip and performing at our ceremony. Needless to say with everything that is going on in the world at the moment, she managed to make our wedding unforgettable. She performed all the songs we asked for, even those that weren't on the list. Everyone mentioned how amazing she was and how she added to the day. Thank you Colette, I really can't thank you enough!
