Can any baroque cellist play my favourite song?

Please also keep in mind that baroque cellists may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the baroque cellist's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do baroque cellists take to set up?
Your baroque cellist will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the baroque cellist prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our baroque cellists are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our baroque cellists will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
