Where to load in if it's different to the main entrance. If there is the chance of anything taking place outside, would need a guarantee of shelter from weather, and access to power supply. If there's a sound limiter at the venue and anything else that may affect the sound system.

Playing at the Brit Awards for Muse at the o2 was one of my top professional experiences!
I love David Bowie, for his theatricality, inventiveness and creativity. Life on Mars is one of my all time favourite songs. I also love Eva Cassidy and could listen to her voice all day every day. I love incorporating lots of different styles and genres in to my sets, it reflects my eclectic taste in music.
I grew up surrounded by a very musical family, so therefore it has always been second nature to me to bring music into everyday life. I have lots of experience playing in shows as well as gigging for weddings and corporate events. I love the variety and love feeling like I have helped in creating a really special and memorable occasion.
I love playing at weddings, as I am a romantic soul and just love seeing lots of happy people in one room together!
Arrive 1.5 hours before the performance and a 30-45 minute set up. 2 x 45 minute sets with a 15 minute break in the middle. However I am happy to adjust timings according to the event.
Yes as long as it is guaranteed that there will be appropriate shelter from the rain or direct bright sunlight, and that. power supply is close by.
I am happy to work with the client to tailor make the set list that best suits the occasion. Equally I am happy to choose the music for them.
Rachel has previously been described as a 'superb musician. She plays the cello straight from the heart with top class technique.'
