About Rachel

Beautiful solo viola or violin for weddings and events

3 of 4 photos

Violinist

Wirral

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Violin/Viola player based in North West England, available for events. Perfect for a weddings - a magical sound to enhance your day. I play acoustic instrument (gently amplified), with specially chosen piano/guitar backing tracks. The viola is my preferred (but happy to do violin!) - a richer and slightly deeper sound but playing all the same repertoire! My repertoire is developing constantly but take a look to get an idea of what I can offer. If a song isn't included in my song list, there is a chance I may know it. If not, I'm happy to learn this for a small additional fee, providing we can find a suitable backing track! I am also available to play in a duo with a harpist, or acoustic guitarist.

Hi Rachel, Just wanted to say a huge Thankyou for Saturday we absolutely loved listening to you play. Many guests spoke about it after the ceremony and it really made my day.

Rachel has played violin in my band for years - I know she’ll always play with style and grace, whatever I throw at her!
