The music was beautiful and added a memorable aspect to our day. Our guests loved hearing music that is not traditionally played by a string quartet and we had lots of positive comments. We would highly recommend for weddings and any other celebrations. "

Can any string ensemble play my favourite song?

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 string ensembles are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing.
