We play a variety of tunes including irish traditional jigs and reels, slipjigs and waltzes. We include arrangements of celtic tunes with our own twist and find it is perfect to listen to or for dancing. The rhythmn is infectious.
We are proud to have a large repertoire of tunes to keep things interesting.
Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
They like the variation of tunes and tempos. Often described as uplifting and joyous, also slow and sensitive if required. There is a sense of fun in the music I play and it is infectious.
Please note, I do not sing so it is a repertoire of different tunes.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I perform at parties, weddings, country fayres, garden parties, funeral/wakes. Indoors or outdoors, centre stage or as background music.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Vanessa Mae, Riverdance, John Barry, Mike Oldfield are the highest profile.
My favourite irish music is by Natalie MacMaster, Liz Carroll, Lunasa, Beoga, Dervish, Altan.
Do you have different line-up options?
I can play as a solo violinist but most usually play with a guitarist as I do not use backing tracks. This fills the sound and makes a more complete performance.
There is also an option to play with an accordianist.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Timings are flexible to being changed
How much time do you need to set up?
It takes up to one hour to set up
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I supply my own PA
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Possibly. There is an additional fee of £30 per musician for this service to take into account rehearsal times.
Please note I do not use backing tracks and so a solo performance will be the tune on its own. If booked as a duo, there would be an arranged backing.
