Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
We are fun and vibrant, and our decade long musical relationship playing together really shows in our musicianship and our bond. We have a blast doing gigs together, and we know we'll help to make your day super special!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Glastonbury, Shambala, Green Man Festival, Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Beijing Olympic Stadium, Montreal Jazz Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Union Chapel London, Bridgewater Hall, The Lowry, Matt and Phred's, Band on the Wall. Theatres and music venues all over Europe, as well as tours reaching China, Japan, America, Canada - to name a few!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
We love all music, from the classical greats to jazz, trad folk and world music and modern day pop.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
It's hard to choose!! For Margit, our superb cellist, it's playing the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury as a regular member of Elbow's touring band. For Rachael, our nimble fingered harpist, it's flying from a crane playing the harp for tens of thousands of people while huge mechanical dragons breathe fire below at Beijing's Olympic Stadium.
Do you have different line-up options?
This particular string group is always harp and cello, it's a big sound from just two instruments!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Just let us know! We'll do our very best to accommodate you, timing changes are usually not a problem.
How much time do you need to set up?
We arrive an hour before we start playing, this gives us ample time to set up, tune the instruments and throw our finest frocks on!
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Of course! It's your day, you choose the music! Favourite songs not on the list? No problem, we also learn requests.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
We bring everything we need, although we do borrow a couple of chairs from the venue. Don't worry about that though, we sort that with the staff.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes definitely, all part of the service and included in the price.
