Hire the best Violinists / Fiddlers

Violinists are hugely popular for events all over the world. Highly versatile, they can perform everything from classical pieces as a bride walks down the aisle, to an upbeat dance set with backing tracks. With a very flexible set up, most violinists are prepared to travel internationally.

The violin players featured on gigheaven.com will cover a huge variety of genres. Classical violinists will play traditional acoustic instruments and cover all manner of pieces, from Pachelbel's "Cannon In D" to "Air On A G String" by Bach. Violinists for weddings will sometimes have a more modern repertoire, instrumentally covering chart hits like "Rather Be" by Jess Glynne or "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, and will usually utilise an electric instrument, backing tracks, drum machines or synthesisers to create their sound. Contrasting this completely, fiddle players will usually play traditional folk music, like "Jigs and reels" and possibly more modern folk tunes, by the likes of Mumford & Sons. They can also draw from other musical traditions, such as Irish music.
