Violinist

Leeds

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Hi there, I'm a classically trained Violinist, having studied at the Royal Northern College of Music for my bachelors. I love to play classical music, but I've also spent years improvising in bands, playing Gypsy Jazz, Klezmer, Tango's, Metal, and plenty more. Playing the Violin is my passion as well as being my job, and I can be very flexible.
