Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My clients love being able to collaborate and give suggestions for a set list for their event, choosing songs that mean a lot to them and ones that fit with the theme of their event.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
-Royal Festival Hall
-Trafalgar Square
-Arts Theatre, West End
-Abbey Road Studios
-Fairfield Halls
-Asylum Chapel
-Menin Gate
-St. Marks Cathedral, Venice
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I love listening to and playing most genres! Some of my favourite composers include Tchaikovsky and Piazolla, and modern artists such as Jacob Collier and Esther Abrami.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I have led a large orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, performed with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle in Trafalgar Square and played in multiple recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios
Do you have different line-up options?
I am able to perform solo sets on the Acoustic Violin, Electric Violin or Acoustic Viola.
I also play with my String Quartet, Belle Quartet, and can perform as a String Duo, Trio or Quartet.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I will try my best to be as flexible as I can to help your event run as smoothly as possible.
If timings change leading up to the event or overrun on the day just let me know!
How much time do you need to set up?
I like to arrive 1-1 1/2 hours before performing so that I can set up my equipment and soundcheck before guests arrive.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely! Please let me know if there are any songs you particularly do or don't want in the set list and I'll make up the rest of the time with other songs that will fit the theme!
If there are any songs that you would like that aren't on my set list, or if you have a backing track you'd like me to play along to I can accommodate this for you :)
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I bring my own instrument and amplification equipment.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If there are any songs that you would like that aren't on my set list, or if you have a specific backing track you'd like me to play along to I can accommodate this for you.
There's an additional fee of £30 for sourcing the backing track accompaniment and time spent rehearsing.
