Clarinettists for hire in Belfast
Latest reviews of our Clarinettists in Belfast
"Nelly came for a solo clarinet recital at our home for my wife's birthday and gave us a memorable evening. She made us discover pieces that we loved, like Saint-Saens' sonata for clarinet and piano, and Belá Kovács' piece in hommage to Manuel de Falla. We loved both her execution of the pieces and the introduction she gave to each of them, which made us understand and appreciate them even more. Thank you Nelly for your beautiful music which made my wife's day special! "

"Nelson exceeded all expectations! Thoroughly professional, a beautiful clarinet player, who played effortlessly, with grace and elegance at our private service in a meadow in Derbyshire. He was able to play all the songs requested for the service with skill and confidence and many pieces bought guests to tears. Nelson is a charming, intelligent professional musician with excellent communication skills and was greatly appreciated by those attending on the day. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for something special for their next celebration. Lyn Rowland "

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any clarinettist play my favourite song?
Professional clarinettists will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice.

You can view the clarinettist's song list on their Encore profile.

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 clarinettists 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 clarinettists will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
