FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What music styles do you play?

I specialise in classical music but also perform contemporary, pop, jazz and worship music. With extensive improvisation experience, I can adapt to your event.

Do you travel outside London?

Yes, I am available for events throughout the UK. Travel costs may apply for locations outside Greater London.

Can you learn specific songs?

Absolutely. I can learn up to two special requests with sufficient notice, typically around four weeks.

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings, I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially between May and September. Other events usually need 1-3 months notice.

What equipment do you bring?

I bring my own acoustic or electric violin and can provide a small amplifier if needed. Very large events may need a venue PA system.

What is your cancellation policy?

A deposit is required to secure your date. Refund and cancellation details will be confirmed in your booking agreement.
