The Wiltshire Wedding Violinist takes up very little room and is movable in moments (eg. sudden change of plans due to English weather!)  and a solo violin performance can cater for intimate occasions of less than 10 guests up to 400 guests (with PA).

Playing by ear means that The Wiltshire Wedding Violinist can take requests that can be performed on the spot for guests and tracks that are not on the standard repertoire list can be learnt specifically for an event.

Her playing now takes her from intimate to international including solo concerts, band gigs, recording studios sessions and evening shows on cruise ships.
