Richard played the Intermezzo from Mascani's Cavalleria Rusticana at our wedding with such passion and skill. It was a highlight of the service, and of the whole day!

Richard was brilliant last night. We wanted Gaelic up beat music for our party which was great, later interspersed by some classic pop covers. He did exactly as we asked and made our party just that bit different. Thanks Richard. (10 / 10)

How many breaks do you take? How long are they?
I would only take a short break when playing for over two hours.
My favourite tune is not on your list. Will you be able to play it?
Yes. I am an experienced arranger so always offer one free personal arrangement when booked. If I am required to write more than one I do make a small charge for additional arrangements.
How much space do you require?
One violinist doesn't need a huge amount of space. I would need a bit more space if I have my Yamaha Stage piano.
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?
Yes
Do you have your own PA and lighting?
Yes. All modern equipment that has current PAT certificates.
How long do you play for?
Usually two hours but can play for up to four hours if required.

Acoustic Violin

Electric Violin

Piano
