Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our clients love our sound, look, and professionalism of the group. We are always super helpful, flexible, and punctual. We have a huge repertoire of music to choose from and are always friendly to venue staff and guests alike. We thoroughly enjoy being part of all the special occasions that we are privileged to play at.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We have performed at hundreds of hotels, private estates, private marquees, churches, castles, art galleries, concert halls and theatres all over the UK. To give some examples we have performed at Buckingham Palace, Highgrove, Symphony Hall, Compton Verney, Highbury Hall, Botanical Gardens, Hyatt Regency, Leicester Cathedral - the list could go on!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
A lot of the inspirational classical musicians - Isaac Perlman, Jacqueline du Pre, Nicola Benedetti.
Inspiration also comes from the great Stephane Grappelli and the swing era. We have also a lot of admiration for the Turtle Island String Quartet and the Vitamin String Quartet. We also love the Two Cellos!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
We treat all our customers with the same respect and consideration whether we in the recording studio, TV studio or playing live for a special event. We have played for countless celebrity weddings and also countless non-celebrity performances - all each just as important and get the same quality of service.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our line up is as follows:
The String Quartet is 2 violins, viola and cello
String Trio is 2 violins and cello. We can also do violin, viola and cello
String Duo is Violin and cello. We can also do 2 violins, or violin and viola.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try to be flexible to help ensure our event runs as smooth as possible. Just let us know if the timings change slightly and we shall be as accommodating as possible.
How much time do you need to set up?
As we are an acoustic band we only need 30mins to set up. We are also portable and can easily change locations if needed, for example moving from the ceremony room to the garden.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
We will chat through with you the style of music you would like for your event and are very happy to offer our experience to advise you on how to use the string quartet to create the best atmosphere for your event.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes absolutely we bring all our instruments, stands and music. All we need is a suitable space to play and some chairs.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn't included in our lists, then there may still be a chance that we already know it. Just ask and we will see what we can do!
