An experienced versatile musician, I play for weddings, private parties, corporate events.
I use professionally recorded backing tracks and play a wide variety of music. Classical, Pop, Show tunes, Folk.
I can also team up with a young female violinist, harpist or pianist as a duo.
I travel up to 100 miles from my home in Bolsover.
Arjays was absolutely fantastic!! Played the songs we requested and searched for the genre of music that was the theme of the birthday party. He was very professional, entertaining and kind. We honestly could not recommend him more! Brought tears to my whole family’s eyes :)
An amazing experience.. We loved your service from start to finish our guests loved the music too. Highly recommended for any occasion.
Thank you so much for making our ceremony so special- it was perfect. We've had so many lovely comments from our guests about your music!
Arjays was punctual, professional and played beautifully. Myself and my husband would definitely recommend Arjays for any weddings and events
If I could give a higher review I would!! Absolutely amazing i am so glad i booked arjays he was so polite friendly and also the songs were played so beautifully it really added a touch of class to my wedding. My guests going up to arjays to request songs to be played absolutely loved it so much that my partner (who is now my husband) also booked it for his wedding day because he was very impressed and it takes a lot to please him. I loved my wedding entrance song. We are a Pakistani couple so we have two wedding days :) would recommend to anyone and if I need to book for any other event I will most definitely be doing you will not be disappointed!! Thank you again so much for a wonderful two days!!!
Beautiful music for our special day. Very easy to arrange. Thank you for helping make our day so special :)
"Rob was well organised and communicated really swiftly and concisely prior to the event.
He was able to deliver all of our 12 song requests which were quite unique.
He turned up looking smart and delivered a great performance during our wedding.
Would definitely recommend Rob for other customers.
Mr and Mrs Herbert"
Fantastic performance , absolutely breathtakingly beautiful !!
The mood was perfectly set for our silver wedding anniversary garden party by a performer par excellence. Arjays was in fine form and was appreciated by everyone. It was fun when at time of leaving, Arjays pulled out his violin again responding to guest's passing request for a jig, the latter proceeding to dance! Our musician is Mr Friendly and Mr Amenable.
What a nice guy he did amazing made our day what a fantastic touch
"Fantastic performance, thoroughly enjoyed by all of the guests present.
I would strongly recommend to friends and colleagues."
Arjay was great support on Friday, 22nd. He turned up on time and delivered a wonderful professional set that added a touch of class to our event. I would use Arjay again in a heartbeat.
Arjays was wonderful such a pleasure to have at our wedding. They both played wonderfully and would recommend them without question. They made the day all the more special. Wonderful and a huge thankyou.
5 stars doesn't justify how brilliant this man is. played beautifully at our wedding yesterday
Absolutely brilliant!!
"Myself and Jamie would like to thank you for making our day extra special, we absolutely loved every minute and all the guest thought you was fantastic.
Thank you Rob.

Arjay turned a great event into a PERFECT celebration. His repertoire is extensive and he is a wonderful violinist. His music really created a touch of class and brought depth and warmth to the occasion. He is extremely flexible as we were requesting music up until the last minute. He arrived early to set up and was extremely professional. Thank you Arjay. You made this event very special.
Thank you Arjay for making my Christening very special. As I'm 13 and a bit older than the usual christenings I wanted something more grown up. My uncle really loves his classical music and thought your playing was amazing. I think it was Amazing too and thank you for playing Amazing Grace for me. Can you come back when I'm older and play at my wedding?
The music was a tribute to my husband at his funeral. Mr. Jourdain's playing was poignant and beautiful. The family and congregation were very moved as the music expressed our love to him where words failed. Thank you and bless you.
Very good , and On time very professional.
Thank you for coming to our event .
It varies, and is open to discussion. Mostly sets of up to 45 or 50 mins, although I can play longer without a break.
I have my own PA when needed.
Yes
Just enough to stand in
Probably, please ask.
Depends on the job circumstances.
