Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I offer a unique, personal, and bespoke service. I am very personable and polite with all guests and staff at the venues, and am flexible on the day with any last minute changes or time delays. I also let children have a go on my electric violin, allowing them to be mesmerised when it lights up as they touch it!!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

- Annabel's Private Members' Only Club, Mayfair - Grosvenor Hotel, Mayfair - Shangri-La (Shard), London Bridge - regular resident violinist for wedding proposals - Soneva Fushi Island (Privately owned island in the Maldives) - Syon House, Brentford - Hylands House, Chelmsford - Many Asian Wedding Venues around London and Greater London

Do you have different line-up options?

You can choose to book from: Solo Electric Violin with backing tracks or Electric Violin and Electric Cello Bollywood Duo with backing tracks

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

I will always try my best to be flexible 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. I can also be flexible on the day, should you require me to stay for longer than originally planned.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up, I can provide a free playlist service if required, to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance.

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

My set lists comprise many popular songs that guests recognise and love. I understand that you may have particular songs that are special to you, that you want to hear performed at your event. I will always welcome your suggestions and am happy to discuss your desired songs. I offer one complimentary song and requests are charged at £10 / song thereafter.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring my own violin / electric violin to play. I also provide my own backing tracks, and can provide a speaker if necessary. I also provide my own Bollywood attire - which i will match to your theme. For stilt walking violin bookings, i own an array of stunning stilt gowns that you can choose from.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I offer one complimentary song request included with each booking, which will be prepared especially for the client. There is a fee of £20 per song thereafter, or 3 song requests for £50, to take into account preparation time required to learn and memorise the song(s).
