Full time musician, so if I'm not booked, I'm yours! Happy to take on long-term and emergency short-term gigs and projects. I'm a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music. Since then have worked full-time as a performer. I'm friendly and professional. Please just supply me the basic details of size of the room, the approximate number of people attending, so i can work out the ideal musical programme for you :) Romantic Andre Rieu and Bollywood style violin cabaret ideal for events, weddings, retail theatre, parties and concerts. I play for orchestras such as Phantom of the Opera the West-End production, and worked as the only musician on a 5 month play at the Almeida Theatre, London.
https://www.lastminutemusicians.com/members/pinetree.html I also run a lovely 2 room recording studio, with top industry standard equipment and loads of experience. I sometimes play with Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros (Rough Trade), the folk band Ghosts of December.
I play and own acoustic and electric violins, have 2 stage pianos, two PA systems, a car and full clean driving license, MU membership, PL insurance (£10,000,000) and all equipment holds a current PAT testing certificate.
Based in North London
My performances are bespoke, so I play what you ask me to. Currently I enjoy; Modern Styles, Game of thrones and other film themes, Cross over, Classical Cross Over, Cypriot, Greek, Italian, Irish, Scottish, Middle Eastern, Linsey Stirling, Taylor Davis, Hava nagila, Czardas, Those Were The Days, Michael Buble, Folk/wedding songs. Art music such as: Schindler’s list, Massenet Meditation, The Mission. Styles include: Classical Cross-Over, Film, Shows, Pop, Rock, Latin, Jazz, World Folk.
Nothing if you want me to use my own PA system, symphonic backing tracks etc. If I'm using your PA, I give you an XLR or normal guitar lead as an output. I have all my own backline, and a Samson transmitter/receiver system so I can serenade :)
Typically 2 or 3x45minute sets. I arrive a minimum of 90 minutes before to set up and sound check.
