Electric Violin at the British Museum

We had the pleasure of working with the superb Peppermint Diva Events  for their client's event in the British Museum on Monday.  Sarah provided tunes to accompany the beats of Lyndsay - the venue looked amazing and a great event was held.  Well done to Peppermint for their usual impeccable magic.

Sarah and Lindsay make a great pairing - always great to see a female DJ, and they both look and sound in perfect harmony with each other.

Electric violin and DJ for hire is also a perfect corporate act.  It works so well on so many levels - it can be relaxing and chilled and just as quickly go more uptempo as the evening progresses - why have 2 acts doing this when one can so effectively? 

Wedding String Quartet

We have a host of brilliant wedding string quartets to hire and are currently getting some great new arrangements of songs to add to our repertoire, including Chasing Cars, Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics and much more.

Although the majority of wedding string quartets are hired and booked during January, February and March - there are always last minute requets - and with so many professional string players available, we love to step in and get it together at the last minute. So far we have provided brilliant musicians and bands to hire for more than 500 events when the brief was 'find the music fast - the event is tomorrow or in a few days time'....it's a great challenge to get the right people at the last minute and we love to work through our contact list and grab someone who is still available.

String quartets for hire are also avaialble for all other kinds of events, including engagement parties, marriage proposals, corporate entertainment and many more. If the weather improves, we'll be doing many more outdoor events. Forthcoming events include Paddington Recreation Ground bowling green opening and a string quartet for University Ceremony Awards in Regents Park.

Visit London Awards and More

We have just provided a great string quartet for the Visit London Awards at Westfield Shopping Centre. The piece was by Marc 01, who is a tenori-on expert. For those not aware (I, for one was not), this is a Yamaha instrument that looks and sounds very futuristic. You get some idea from the photo here. We played a straight version of Beethoven's 5th through microphones at the very start of the evening. Half way through, the beats kicked in, and the tenori-ons appeared. It was great fun, and we enjoyed working for SML Events - who were a lovely bunch of people, and created a great event!

Other unusual events were a recent Faroe Islands fashion event in Digitaria, Soho - where I played some highly unsual music by Sunleif Rasmussen. It was great, and whoever says people in fashion are superficial can eat their words. I've played this kind of music before - and usually, audiences cannot handle it for longer than a couple of minutes. I was amazed that these guys actually watched, as if it was a concert. Humanity faith-restoring stuff indeed.

Wedding string quartets are still hard at work, with December bringing weddings in Marble Hill House, Richmond - and Great Fosters Hotel, Twickenham - to name but two.

And the string section for Liquid Strings is hard at work with more concerts for Ioannis's Doxa Deo Church. We are looking forward to this, and on the same night, Julian and his jazz trio are perfroming at Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Bloomsbury Street. And we haven't even started the Xmas rush yet (sorry I mentioned the X word....)

New artists for Liquid Strings inculde a fantastic cello and dancer act, (perfect corporate entertainment for Christmas parties), a wonderful Big Band for hire and an amazing new gospel choir, who really have to be seen to be believed - but are amazing singers. They are ideal for weddings, parties and big events. Have a listen on their page.
