Verified profile

Robbie is an accomplished and versatile violinist and fiddler from the Highlands, currently living in Glasgow. I started playing violin and piano at the age of 6 surrounded by a musical family. I continued to play and develop both instruments through school before studying traditional fiddle at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. I graduated in 2017 with a First Class Honours Bachelor of Music degree. I love playing for events and weddings and being able to provide music to such a special day. I strive to make the music a memorable part of your day and am delighted to learn any music which has special meaning to you.

Robbie was brilliant, talented lad, who played perfectly throughout. Exactly what we wanted and couldn’t have asked for more from him.

Robbie was absolutely Incredible! He learnt 2 songs as per my request which were perfect. Robbie was also very accommodating with requests and even played Taylor Swift songs for my Swiftie Niece, she was over the moon singing along side him 🥹 Would recommend Robbie to everyone looking for a violinist for ANY event. Thanks so much Robbie, our day was perfect & you played a huge part in that ✨

Customer questions

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

If your timings change, there's no problem. Where I can, I will accommodate at no extra cost, provided the timings remain the same length. If there is a change to the length of playing time, there would be an additional charge for this.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

During my set times, my equipment is available for you to use for a DJ service if you should wish. I will play background music during any breaks that I take as well.

How much time do you need to set up?

I need approximately 30 minutes to set up my PA equipment and soundcheck.

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

I am happy for you to have as much input into the set list for your event. I am also happy to discuss any additions to my set list.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Everything I need to perform is provided by myself, I just require a power socket near to where I will be setting up.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I am delighted to learn any music requests before your event. There may be an additional charge for this depending on the piece. I have learnt a wide variety of music requests which have spanned from music from Braveheart, to Taylor Swift all the way to Bollywood music! I would ask that there is about 2 weeks of notice to learn new music for your event.
