For most of my professional engagements I have enjoyed playing a mix of classical and improvised jazz - both performed to backing tracks. I have performed solo slots at many Weddings, Parties, Care Homes, and several funerals. I've played sessions on albums - And performed at The Royal Albert Hall with the band 'Gillan'. And toured in Europe with 'The Gilly Glover Band'.

Sim has played at Pax Hill a few times now for various occasions. We will be rebooking him in the near future. He has a wide repertoire of music and is played to a high standard. Residents, families and friends all enjoy the performances, highly recommend Regards Lucille

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I perform a mix of Classical and Jazz pieces with improvisation, all done to backing tracks played through 1 or 2 speakers - depending on how big the space is.

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

A slight change is fine as long as you let me know in good time.

How much time do you need to set up?

In general I like to arrive an hour before a performance - to meet you and talk about where you'd like me to be positioned etc Unless it's very hard to access the performance area, in which case I'd arrive earlier.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, as above, either one or two P.A. speakers, all the necessary cables, stands, and a small table if it's appropriate ie if there'll be several breaks during which I'd need to put the Violin down. I use a Bluetooth receiver to connect to the P.A. And can provide a microphone if you need one.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I can do, but would need to know enough in advance for this service which would have to be included in the quote.
