SOLO VIOLINIST
"Classical and Pop electric violinist from Leeds ideal for wedding ceremony music and receptions. Solo violin music and acoustic guitarist available for hire at your next UK event. "
About the Act:
A professionally trained musician, our Solo Violinist layers up violin, acoustic guitar and vocals to create a symphony of sound using live looping technology. Whilst being a key element of his appeal, this also means that one musician can provide the sound of a full string quartet or band – offering a cost effective solution for those in love with the sound of a string quartet but on a limited budget.
Unlike many Classical acts who use looping technology, the addition of an acoustic guitar gives our Solo Violinist his own distinct sound. It also enables him to brings Pop, Dance and Folk influences to a set list which brilliantly compliment the Classical playing on offer. Booking options include anything up to 2.5 hours of music for your drinks reception and special requests for your aisle music and wedding ceremony. You can even book our Solo Violinist fronting the awesome Mumford and Sons-style band, Emerald Skye.
Whether looking for a Classical musician to accompany you down the aisle, a contemporary performer to entertain your guests through their drinks reception, or someone to recreate one of your favourite pieces in a bespoke style, our Solo Violinist is what you’ve been looking for. His music can provide a beautiful, laid back atmosphere at your event and be tailored to suit your personal tastes. Get in touch to find our his availability now!
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Multi-instrumentalist with a beautiful voice

Song List
The following tracks can be performed with a combination of Violin, Guitar & Vocals. A selection of songs can be performed in a romantic classical pop style to suit a ceremony or wedding breakfast, and others to highlight guitar and vocals, perfect for an upbeat acoustic live lounge which would compliment the drinks reception or evening reception.
Learning your favourite songs comes as part of the package. Let me know your favourites, ones to avoid and any special requests. This helps to build a tailored set for your event. If unsure, I'm happy to use my best judgement.
