Mediterranean Singing Guitarist "Talented guitarist with a beautiful voice! A musical background of true class" Translated from Italian Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland (110 miles from Glasgow) Carolina Vastola

Scarlett Strings - Violin + Singing "Scarlett was incredible! Everything about our experience was perfect from the communication to her performance. She learnt a new song for our aisle song and it was beautiful. All our guests loved the music during the ceremony and drinks reception. It was lovely to have a performance that was so elegant yet personal, I would recommend her to everyone." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (121 miles from Glasgow) 26th February 2026 Katy V - Wedding

Howard Haigh "He’s a precision musician with a vivid imagination" Based in Lancaster, England (138 miles from Glasgow) Dennis Kilcommons - Huddersfield Examiner

Cellist "Stunning playing. You were easily the best musician we've had in this weekend." Based in Liverpool, England (177 miles from Glasgow) Andy - Recording session

Kate Violin "Kate's pre event contactablity was excellent, her manner very pleasant, she was punctual, undemanding and very helpful and that was before she had even played a note. She performed to a mixed age audience and held us spell-bound by her variety of music which she had selected based upon a brief resume we sent her. The mix of modern, popular and classical music was both recognisable to most and certainly enjoyed by all. She is also such an unassuming young woman. From an audience of circa 200 we wish her every success in the entertainment industry. We will certainly invite her back in the future." Based in Leeds, England (179 miles from Glasgow) Peter Mawer - Wedding
