Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I perform either on an Acoustic or an Electric Violin, depending on which aesthetic you are looking for.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always endeavour to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If your timings change, please get in contact!

How much time do you need to set up?

I will always arrive to your event at least 1 hour prior to performance time, but depending on what equipment needs to be set up will determine how long set-up time is!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Of course! You can choose to either create an entirely bespoke set list or you can give me an idea of what styles you'd like and I can curate a set-list for you. Any set list created will always be approved by you prior to your event, and I'm always happy to chat with you to make sure we find what works for you!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I will bring all the necessary equipment!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list, there's still a chance I already know it and can easily source a backing track! I will always try to accommodate special requests, but please note there may be extra charges depending on what your request is!
