About Conor

Classically trained violinist, performing classical and pop covers as a soloist. Formerly band violinist with artist Niall Horan on tour.
Violinist
Newry
Public liability insurance of £10 million

I am a classically trained violinist, having studied my undergraduate and masters in classical violin performance at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I love performing and have been lucky enough to work with both professional orchestras throughout the UK and Ireland, as well as in the pop session scene working with pop artist like Niall Horan. I am proud to have performed as a band violinist on global world tours and have performed in major venues throughout the world such as Maddison Square Garden, The Three Arena Dublin, The Millennium Dome London, The Royal Albert Hall London, The Hollywood Bowl and many others. As well as my live performance experience I have experience in recording music and have performed on many pop tracks during my time with Niall Horan's band. For events I love to mix my experience of pop and classical, to provide a playlist that can suit all occasions. Wether it be a relaxed atmosphere with a mixture of classical repertoire mixed with pop arrangements for violin and piano, or a mixture of upbeat pop and jazz tunes with a full backing tracks, I am confident I can provide a great atmosphere to suit your event. For events I can provide my own sound system for my violin and backing tracks, but I have also worked with venues with their own sound systems successfully and make it my responsibility to provide the best solution for every event. If you have specific song choices for your event I offer to make arrangements to add these into my set list. If you have any requests or special requirements for your event I will endeavour to attend to these and am confident I will be able to provide a premium service to your event.

Conor played at our corporate summer BBQ and he was magnificent. True professional and extremely talented. He responded to all communications and queries in a timely manner and produced extensive set list to choose from. Conor arrived ahead to time to ensure everything was ok and ready to go at start of event. He also observed how event was going and played from list accordingly eg. When meal was served he played the classical musical I had selected. I would have no hesitation recommending Conor.

Conor helped us create the perfect atmosphere for our wedding. He gave us a great choice of music to chose from and was so easy to work with! Our guests were absolutely blown away by his music and are still talking about it. Conor is really an amazing violinist who I would highly recommend for your wedding!

Conor was excellent and so professional. We booked him and left it totally up to him in terms of the music and he got the music and tone spot on. I would definitely book him again. He was ideal for a luxury event

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, I can offer services with violin, violin and piano, string quartet and string quartet with piano. Singer can also be added to all these option

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

I will always be flexible with timings and dates if I can accommodate and there are not closings with other bookings.

How much time do you need to set up?

1 hour set up is preferable but a minimum of 30 minutes before is the minimum requirement.

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

Yes of course, I will be happy to talk through all set lists with clients and discuss your preferences.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes absolutely. I will always offer my own sound system but will also lease with venues to see if there are more suitable sound systems already in place for larger rooms and functions.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Of course. If you have any requests for your event I am happy to talk it over. If the piece is not easily sourced and in my library of songs there may be an additional cost for this service.
