About / Biography

I play acoustic violin to backing tracks in a wide range of styles. I am best suited to smallish events of less than 100 people.

(My electric violin or in-house PA system are good options for larger events).

I am happy to play without backing tracks if there is a noise limit at the venue, but I recommend backing tracks for a fuller sound.

I bring my own amp, mic and ipad. I just need a power point, small side table, and cover if playing outdoors.

Please always ask if you have any questions before booking.
