I’ve been performing since I graduated from the RWCMD in 2015, performing as a soloist and in various ensembles all over the UK and Europe in many events including festivals, orchestras, weddings and session work on both acoustic, electric and baroque violin
I really love a variety but anything that requires a beautiful atmosphere, whether it be an event or a wedding. I just love performing!
I usually like to arrive an hour early but only need 30 minutes to set up and warm up. Performance times are usually between 1 & 3 hours but I’m flexible for whatever requirements you may need.
I’m happy to perform outside as long as cover is provided (from sunshine and rain) and there is a power supply if I’m using my PA
I have over 250 songs but I am able to take requests depending on how long I have in advance to learn them.
Warm and mesmerising, creating a beautiful and memorable atmosphere
