Hi! I’m a professional cellist, ready and waiting to perform your dream wedding music, worldwide. I can provide beautiful music for your guests as they arrive, your wedding ceremony, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and your first dance! For certain events, I can provide background or interim music, perfectly suited to your event. I provide solo acoustic cello, and I can also provide elctroacoustic cello with backing track accompaniment
I perform the favourite and tradtional classics; pop songs from over the decades; plenty of TV and film favourites, beautiful church hymns, and film and theatre favourites – there are no limits! I have also incorporated music from different cultures, including Bollywood, Polish, AfroBeats, and more. I can arrange special requests of your favourite pieces of music and can sight-read and improvise fluently. I will happily transcribe special additional requests for solo cello, if it's not already in my music library.
I have played cello for 30+ years, performing with countless orchestras and ensembles around the whole of the UK. I also travel internationally to perform with my cello, including the USA, the Caribbean, the Channel Islands, and much of Europe. Away from orchestras, I've been invited as backing strings for numerous musicians for professional recordings and live performances, have provided music for promo sessions, wedding shows, the BBC, Netflix, Heart Radio, and various artists such as Alicia Keys, Akash Odedra, Amanda Holden, Ebony Bones, Bonaventura Bottone, Tiana Major9, and more.
I have an MA Degree in Performance (with distinction), and to maintain an excellent standard of playing, I currently study under award-winning cellist Richard Jenkinson, with additional lessons from tutors at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
My primary cello is a beautiful English cello aged approx 200 years old called Sid, and he's lush. My second cello is set up for elctroacoustic performances, and is a beautiful 20 year old hand made cello. I travel worldwide, and can perform for as little or as long as you need. Very importantly, I am fully insured with Public Liability insurance which covers me for venues worldwide.
= free travel (up to 250 miles)
