Wedding at the Great House, Sonning on Thames
Last Saturday we provided music for the reception drinks and wedding breakfast at the Great House Hotel in Sonning on Thames, Berkshire.

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 [...]
Wedding at the Priory Barn, Little Wymondley
Last Saturday afternoon, we returned once again to another venue which is quite local to us - the Priory Barn in Little Wymondley, near Ware in Hertfordshire.

One special aspect of the ceremony was [...]
