ā€˜Blending insightful tales, tinged with Americana stylings, borne of the philosophical curiosity of an earnest twenty-something, Little Strings welcomes you into her world view through snapshots painted with witty lyrics and an ear for a catchy tune.ā€™ - North Wales Pioneer. Review of EP 'Little Strings'. 'Little Strings' huge voice, straight from the Welsh valleys, soon mesmerised the growing throng with its bass-rich tones. Clareā€™s voice is a valuable asset...The set drew on the quirky songs from her recently released eponymous EP, including the catchy Bump in the Road, as well as new material inspired by current travels around Europe as a performing artist.'Ā Ā  - Cumbria Live. Review of a live gig at The Brickyard live music venue, Carlisle. Little Strings, now based in Glasgow, plays around the UK and Europe with her fascinating ukulele originals. In 2018 she competed in the Ukulele Festival of Scotland's 'Rising Stars' competition. Her self-titled EP was released the same year and features bittersweet pop songs. She crafts story-telling into her songcraft , all delivered with the vocals of a proper Welsh valley-girl.

Customer questions

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

I can accommodate that! My set up is quick, simple and easy and I can shuffle things about for you. If timings change, just let me know as soon as you can and Iā€™ll do my best to be flexible.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Definitely. If have any requests let me know. This is a popular request and I offer this service for free. Also if youā€™d like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue closes, I provide for an additional Ā£50-Ā£100.

How much time do you need to set up?

My set up is very quick but to give extra time to make sure everything looks and sounds perfect please expect about 1 hours before the performance time. As soon as the PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the scene and provide an atmosphere for your guests as theyā€™re getting ready for the live performance!

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

Iā€™m always happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes absolutely! I bring my own instruments and PA equipment.

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 are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of Ā£30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times for this.
