Wedding at the Old Bridge Hotel, Huntingdon
Yesterday, Ali (cellist) and myself performed as a string duo for a wedding held at the Old Bridge Hotel in Huntingdon. The hotel is a distinctive, ivy clad building on the Huntingdon ring road and has a lovely ceremony room ideal for either a duo or a string quartet. We provided music as guests entered [...]
Wedding at Rowhill Grange, Kent
On Friday, Becky (cellist) and I travelled down to Dartford in Kent to play for the wedding ceremony of a couple getting married at Rowhill Grange Hotel and Utopia Spa. On a beautiful September day we set up our stands to the side of the aisle next to a pagoda in the grounds of the [...]
Corporate Dinner at Queens College, Oxford
On Thursday evening, it was our pleasure to return once more to play at Queens College in Oxford. Although we had performed as a string quartet last time, this time the occasion called for a string duo as it was a more intimate dinner of international delegates from a pharmaceutical company. With it’s high ceiling [...]
Wedding at Letchworth Hall Hotel, Hertfordshire
Last Sunday, Tony (cellist) and I performed as a string duo for a wedding held at Letchworth Hall Hotel, in Letchworth.
It was a big day as altogether we were required to play for over four hours, spread over almost six hours - so although we had plenty of breaks, it was quite a long working [...]
Wedding at the Milton Hill House Hotel, Oxfordshire
Another wedding that required a string duo and this time it was myself and Becky (cellist) who provided the music for around 90 guests. As the weather wasn’t particularly dry, we played indoors after the ceremony - in a room just adjacent to the bar area. We entertained the wedding party with a varied selection [...]

Concert at St Pancras Church, London
Yesterday, Reiad and I performed a lunchtime concert as part of the Thursday series at the Church of St Pancras opposite Euston station in London. As we specialise in Violin / Viola repertoire it was difficult choosing just 45 minutes worth of chamber music to include in this short programme.
We decided to start with a [...]
Wedding at the Church of the Holy Family, Luton
On Friday we were asked to play as a string duo for a church wedding held in Luton. The name of the church was the ‘Church of the Holy Family’ and the ceremony included holy communion, hymns and music provided both before and after the service itself.
The most unusual aspect was us accompanying three hymns [...]
Wedding at Great Fosters Hotel, Egham
Last Friday we were asked to perform at a wedding held at the Great Fosters Hotel in Egham, Surrey. Whereas the evening before we had played as a string duo consisting of a violin with cello, this time it was a violin with viola that had been requested.
Almost all of our repertoire is arranged for [...]
