About Violet

Oxfordshire based Violet – Covers, Classics & Surprises in Four-Part Harmony. Equally at home playing at festivals, or at your local pub!
Acoustic band
Witney
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Violet is a four-piece acoustic band bringing dynamic four-part harmony, infectious energy, and genre-spanning versatility to stages across Oxfordshire and beyond. Formed organically through a shared love of live music, the members of Violet met while performing at open mic nights in a lively Oxfordshire town. What began as a few casual collaborations quickly evolved into something more – a unique vocal blend and chemistry that audiences couldn’t ignore. With two male and two female vocalists, acoustic guitar, cajon, and rich harmonies at the heart of their sound, Violet delivers powerful yet intimate performances that connect across ages and tastes. Their repertoire is a carefully curated mix of timeless classics, unexpected deep cuts, and modern crowd-pleasers – all reimagined with their signature acoustic twist. From soul and indie to pop, rock, and retro gems, Violet brings fresh life to familiar favourites, moving effortlessly between eras and styles. Whether it's a soulful ballad or an upbeat floor-filler, the band’s intricate harmonies and tight musicianship ensure every song resonates. Violet has earned a reputation as a standout live act at festivals, private events, bars, and parties, known for their ability to read the room and create unforgettable atmospheres. Their stripped-back setup makes them flexible and easy to host, while their sound is anything but small – full-bodied, emotionally rich, and rhythmically engaging. In addition to their musical versatility, Violet offers a fully self-contained setup. The band provides all equipment necessary for performances – including a professional sound system, microphones, and instruments – so hosts can relax, knowing every musical detail is covered. Whether indoors or out, large or small, Violet brings the gear and the vibe. At its core, Violet is about connection – between friends, between voices, and between audience and artist. Their sets are filled with moments of harmony, humour, and heart, shaped by years of gigging experience and a genuine passion for live performance. Based in Oxfordshire but ready to travel, Violet is the perfect choice for anyone looking to bring high-quality acoustic music to their event – whether it’s a sun-drenched festival stage, a wedding in the countryside, or a lively night in a packed local bar.

Booked Violet knowing of their growing potential for an early slot at our Music Festival this year and though seen them on their very short journey in pubs, I applaud them bringing so much energy, professionalism and musical togetherness. Set list and performance was absolutely ideal and fantastically upbeat and engaging. Violet became quickly a crowds favourite. My advice, book em now Stuart Foster Witney Music Festival Founder

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, we can all perform in smaller lineups, and even individually. Please ask for more details and we can come up with a combination that works best for you and your event.

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

That's ok, we will do our best to work around you where at all possible. Just let us know as soon as you can and we'll make it work!

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

This is absolutely fine and free of charge just before, and between sets. If you want music after we finish, we will charge for the time of whoever stays behind with the PA to DJ.

How much time do you need to set up?

We are quite compact set up wise, and know our equipment really well, so we can usually set up very fast. But to allow for any technical problems, it's always nice to have at least an hour to set up and sound check to make sure it's all sounding as good as possible for you.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We can yes, but please let us know ahead of time so we can ensure we have our wireless equipment and that it's fully charged!

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes it is. Please take into account that there are four of us with guitars swinging about, as well as at least two large speakers on stands, so we will need a little room! Then we can dance as well.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Just ask, we may already know it. If not, we can learn up to three songs given a few weeks notice.
