The Devon Violin & Guitar Duo - Violin/Guitar Duo (Clarinet/Banjo/Viola)

The Devon Violin & Guitar Duo plays a wide variety of Gypsy music from around the world. They play violin and guitar, but also involve clarinet, viola and tenor banjo as well, encompassing styles such as French, Irish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Klezmer, Greek, classical, Russian, tangos and bossas, plus tunes from the classical repertoire and elsewhere.

The Devon Violin & Guitar Duo has spent their lives researching their musical passions and love to bring their audience along for the ride. They can adapt their performance to many situations, from an acoustic walkabout act to static amplified, either using battery-powered or mains-powered amplification.

They aim to do their best to provide the client with suitable and uplifting entertainment, including going the extra mile with logistics, timing changes, and other special requirements. They can even learn songs/tunes on request and by agreement for that extra personal touch.

The Devon Violin & Guitar Duo - Violin/Guitar Duo (Clarinet/Banjo/Viola) Feedback

“"Thanks again, you were great. I have your details for anyone who wants to hire you both. ”

Aaron Ellis, Bianco's, Torquay, Proposal (Sept, 2020)

“Thank you both so much for helping make our day so perfect - we all thoroughly enjoyed the music. I have always wanted to learn to play the violin and as I am a great believer in nothing is ever too late, was wondering if your partner (who's name unfortunately escapes me) teaches violin or could recommend a tutor? Again, thank you for the great tunes. Kind regards, Joanne. ”
