I play acoustic violin to backing tracks in a wide range of styles. I am best suited to smallish events of less than 100 people.
(My electric violin or in-house PA system are good options for larger events).
I am happy to play without backing tracks if there is a noise limit at the venue, but I recommend backing tracks for a fuller sound.
I bring my own amp, mic and ipad. I just need a power point, small side table, and cover if playing outdoors.
Please always ask if you have any questions before booking.

If your event is outside, I will need to be under cover to protect the violin from sunshine. I will need a power point.
I cannot play outside if it is cold, rainy or very windy
45min set-up time (I can be quicker if limited time available)
