Hello and welcome! We are a highly accomplished, top quality string quartet. We are all graduates of some of Europe’s finest Music Conservatoires and since our formation in 2004, our beautiful playing has enhanced hundreds of weddings, parties and corporate events all over Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
We are extremely versatile, equally happy performing the very latest pop songs, rock classics, film themes and show tunes and of course the many well loved pieces from the classical music repertoire.
We have played in the elegant surroundings of the regions most famous castles, stately homes and hotels and have also appeared on cliff tops and beaches. No event is too large or small for us.

We need 4 comfortable chairs without arms.
We need to play somewhere where we won't get even a drop of rain on our instruments! Nor can we play in direct sun. This is very important! Our instruments are valuable and a drop of rain, or direct sunlight will ruin the varnish. We are happy to play outside, but we need good protection from rain or direct sun.
It only takes us about 15 minutes to set up.
