Corporate Violinist for the evening last night. Drinks reception for Armoric Freight as they celebrated together at St Elizabeth's House in Plympton. Love gigs like this. Playing through my repertoire to complement the mood of the evening with a few ballads and then a few more upbeat songs as the champagne flows. I had the nicest of compliments as well last night. 'I love the way you add your own personality to these well known songs'. He said that my style was 'unique' - I think that's a good thing! #corporateviolinist #musicandevon #dawlishfiddler
Beautiful September wedding at St Elizabeth's House in Plympton. A more contemporary theme today with some Rihanna and Florence and the Machine with Elton John sandwiched in between. #musiciandevon #weddingviolinist #dawlishfiddler
A wedding with a twist today. A lovely traditional church wedding in Woodbury where I played a new arrangement of ‘kiss me’ by Sixpence non the Richer. Then off to Branscombe beach for an hour of electric violin tunes including lots of film and Disney classics. A real Devon wedding!
Beautiful sunny May wedding at Cadhay in Ottery St Mary. What a stunning venue! Lovely music choices including Can’t help falling in love with you (Hayley Reinhart version), Hallelujah and I Giorni which is beautiful. Then I played for a couple of hours in the sunshine by the lake for the drinks reception. Congratulations to Amy and James on your special day! It was awesome!
Final wedding of 2022 as a solo violinist. A beautiful Christmas wedding at the lovely Crowcombe Court in Somerset. 'I get to love you' by Rouelle, 'You are the reason' by Callum Scott and 'This will be' by Natalie Cole were the special requests today. I was also asked to play 'Somewhere over the rainbow' and ' I have a dream' by Abba just before the ceremony started. It has been a wonderful year 2022 and I just want to thank all of the lovely couples and my clients and supporters as well as my family and friends for all their support and encouragement this year. I am looking forward to another musical year in 2023!
I was honoured to play at a very intimate wedding today at The Cowshed in Corwall. I was asked by Jade and Peter to put together some original arrangements for their ceremony. These included a new version of Galway Girl by Steve Earle for Jade's entrance and also David Bowie's Magic Dance from the film Labyrinth for the happy couple to exit the ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony in a really lovely setting. This was followed by a cream tea while I played a short set of Irish/Celtic melodies. Lovely day out in beautiful Cornwall.
