Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I performed as an aerial violinist for the closing ceremony of Shambala festival. I was dressed in gold and flying above thousands of people when they set off fireworks behind me and set a sun on fire behind me. It was a spectacular moment.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I have been influenced by Lindsay Stirling as a violinist who adds something slightly different to her performances and Hilary Hahn as a highly skilled classical violinist.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I am a classically trained violinist and when I decided to dedicate myself to performance as a full time career I realised that I was really drawn towards events and circus. I initially played with a band called the Dukes Box. We were a human juke box where the audience picked a song and we played it. I then created my mirrorball mirror act "Mirabelle" and through exploring costume I began to learn aerial, becoming one of the only aerial violinist in the world. I also perform on stilts, in LED costumes (which I created), write music for events and circus and as a Bubbleologist.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I love playing at large scale public events, corporate events, private parties and weddings.


How long do you play for

3x 30 mins sets or equivalent over a 3 hour period (additional sets can be added for additional fee)

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Arrival 30 to 90 minutes before start of performance.
Standard finish time is midnight.
Set up and pack down take 30 to 50 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to play outside but require shade on sunny days. I would also require cover if it rains.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I am happy to discuss any requests with the client. I usually limit new songs requested by the client to 3 songs but am happy to discuss adding more for an additional fee. The client is of course also free to pick from my song list.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients commonly describe my performances as breathtaking, enjoyable and atmospheric.


Which specialist acts can you perform

I can perform on stilts or in the air! I also have a mirror costume and LED costume (and instrument)


Can you make bespoke music?

Yes. I can create bespoke music and shows for your event!


Can you perform with other artists?

I can and do perform with other artists including musicians, singers, DJ and even circus artists.
