Verified profile

I am a professional violinist operating in the Midlands area. With over 25 years of special event performance experience and many 5 star reviews, I can help make your special event even more unique! I offer acoustic and electric violin and can create bespoke set lists that will suit any event and leave your guests with memories that will last forever. I provide my own PA system and offer a service tailored to your specific requirements; I even offer to match your dress code or colour scheme where possible! I studied a Music degree at Royal Holloway, University of London and specialised in Violin performance and Composition. I have over 25 years of experience in performance and many years of experience in teaching music and the violin, music theory, viola, cello and trumpet. I hold a PGCE in Music from the Institute of Education. I have been Head of Music at a variety of establishments before my music career was put on hold for 7 years back in 2004 as I served my country as a Royal Navy Officer. I am glad to be back in the music business, specialising in event performances such as weddings and parties as well as composing orchestral and chamber works. I enjoy displaying how versatile the violin can be by performing all styles of music; anything from classical to popular and rock to film music. As a composer I have had works performed at the Lichfield Festival and by orchestras, as well as performances for films. I have also performed at the Lichfield Festival as well as the Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, Edgbaston Stadium, Headingly Stadium, National Memorial Arboretum and hundreds of wedding venues across the Midlands.

Radio 3 Live Performance of symphonic works by Dvorak and Berlioz and recording with Roni Size (Drum n Bass). As a composer - composing the film music for Tides of Time and having a Symphonic Suite premiered in 2017

Do you have different line-up options?

I am a solo performer but I am able to switch between acoustic and electric violins. I am also available to perform as a session musician with other performers if required.

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

Absolutely! I am a composer and arranger, so just ask. There may be a small fee for this service but I am happy to answer any requests- no matter what genre of music!

We were lucky enough to have Joanne - a truly amazing violinist - perform at our wedding ceremony in September. Her music added an extra layer of emotion and beauty to our special day, leaving us and our guests in awe. The skill and passion she brought to every note was exceptional. Our heartfelt thanks to Joanne for making our ceremony unforgettable. If you're looking for a musician to elevate your event, look no further!

What an amazingly talented musician Jo is! Versatile, skilled, friendly and an absolute pleasure to discuss our musical needs leading up to our big day. on our wedding day itself, Jo added a genuine touch of class to the proceedings; then outside on the hotel terrace Jo demonstrated her huge range of pieces, from classical to modern day hits.....she even thought quickly on her feet when there was a delay in my wife entering the room (due to a wardrobe malfunction !) but Jo expertly filled the void with another piece. If you want a touch of style to your special event then do your future self a big favour and book Jo ASAP. There is a reason why she gets snapped up months in advance and we saw for ourselves yesterday ! The feedback from our guests too was so positive and she even had a few up dancing whilst others tapped their feet to the beat ! Thank you Jo. You are incredible.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for Sunday! We had so many comments and compliments about how fantastic you were. Some people didn’t even realise it was live music until they saw you, you were that spot on! We loved the upbeat music choices and it really fit in perfectly with our theme/style. We would highly recommend you to anyone!
