Electric violinist for parties, corporate events & special occasions
Electric violin for private and corporate events across Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Yorkshire and the UK — elegant when the music should sit in the background, and more energetic when it is time to create a feature moment. From milestone birthdays, engagements and private parties to awards evenings, launches, charity events and memorial gatherings, the performance can be shaped around arrivals, dining, speeches or a dedicated feature set, with repertoire chosen to suit the room and the people in it.

Practical and flexible
Easy to fit around the event

The aim is simple: music that feels naturally part of the occasion and adds something memorable without making the event work around the performer.
