Lots of churches and some lovely reception venues such as Hunagrian Hall, Woodhall, Woolsey theatre and Snape Maltings.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

A "last night of the proms" style concert at Snape Maltings

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

I'm pretty flexible about exact timings, just let me know.

A little warm up and tuning is required before playing.

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

Yes. I can suggest some great choices for you too.
