I have worked with the girls in Riot Quartet for a few years now, and every project we have worked on together they have been professional and fun to work with! Most recently I employed them to score up some string parts for my band 'Billy Doze and the Twins', which they did promptly and accurately. One of their Violinists also travelled out to Copenhagen to perform at Rust, and again the rehearsals and gig went smoothly and was everything I had expected and more. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic string quartet!

The Riot Quartet were introduced to me through violinist Helena Britten. Although the name Riot was a way off. I had been working on a track that needed its potential reached by replacing the relevant parts with real strings. Although not overly complicated the girls embraced the idea, and awoke me to the absolute use of real strings at every opportunity. They were charming, punctual and respectful. Their playing.....sublime. The track ... transformed. I would recommend them for any string work in or out of the studio. It was a pleasure. G.Parchment Slo Coco
