"Emma played at our wedding ceremony and was fantastic. She played our favourite songs beautifully, which made such a difference to our day and led to a few tears of joy being shed. We couldn't recommend her enough."

Claire
I'm a classically trained violinist and pianist and have been playing at weddings and events for 20 years. My repertoire includes a range of classical and pop tunes and I love to play traditional Irish and Scottish folk on the violin. I enjoy working with clients to create a musical package which is specific to each event, based on personal requirements and your vision for the day! I also work in collaboration with other musicians if a larger band is required. I'm based in East Sussex, but would be happy to discuss travelling further afield.
+About Me
I love to perform and will work hard to tailor the music to your specific requirements!
Music for wedding ceremonies
I am available to play at wedding ceremonies, including registry offices, hotels and private venues. I'd be happy to discuss choosing a tune to accompany you down the aisle, or to provide music whilst guests arrive and leave. I'm totally flexible to your requirements for the day and am experienced at working with venues to set up discreetly.
Evening entertainment - Irish music and ceilidhs
I'm an experienced ceilidh fiddler and would be happy to discuss providing a quote for a full ceilidh band and caller. I work with guitarist and accordion friends, to create a lively atmosphere which is guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your guests dancing!
+ My repertoire
Pieces that I love to play..
I perform as a solo violinist or pianist. I can also play the violin to my own, pre-recorded piano accompaniment. I play acoustically or amplified to suit the venue. I also have my own full size electric piano, or am happy to play the piano at the venue. I am very flexible with arrangements and will always be happy to discuss the best options for your event.
Christmas is one of my favourite musical times! I play a wide range of Christmas favourites (mainly on piano, but also on violin if you prefer), including all the pop favourites, classic carols and swing Christmas numbers.

The most important part of the day is listening to tunes that you enjoy! I would love to discuss your favourite pieces and to look into the possibility of playing them. Here is a list of tunes that I've played recently, however, this is, by no means, exhaustive! It acts as a guide to the types of pieces that I could perform.
Christmas!
