Any of the above lineups can be on either acoustic or electric violin!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event, just let me know.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually set up approximately 30 minutes prior to the performance time.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, I would love to know your favourite items from the repertoire list so the performance can be tailored to your taste. Don't be shy!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, although on some occasions a chair will be required (without arms) but this will be discussed in advance.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes, absolutely! If there is something special you'd like me to learn, I am happy to do so because my priority is ensuring your musical needs are met. Please be aware that there is a fee of £30 for this service, to reflect the extra rehearsal time required,
Please be upfront with what you want to hear and I will do my best to accommodate. :)
