Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes! I can perform as a duo with other instruments such as violin, viola, cello or sax, and can also provide a string quartet option. Please enquire if there is a specific line-up you are thinking of, and I can try to make it happen!

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

I can be flexible to a certain extent with timings, so if things change slightly in the run up to your event, please get in touch and I will endeavour to fit around you!

How much time do you need to set up?

Depending on the act (acoustic or electric), I usually take between 15-60 minutes to set up. If a short DJ set is needed whilst I am doing this, I will provide this service!

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

I am very happy to tailor my setlist to you.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I will bring most the equipment I need, however may need to liaise with the venue over sound equipment if required.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you.
