Busy couple of days for the Exe Valley String Quartet. We played at another new venue for us in Plympton last Saturday. Lovely venue. We played for the drinks reception only today with a lot of requests for film music. We love playing the film themes and today we got to play lots, including Jurrasic Park, Star Wars, Gladiator and of course Toy Story. Great gig with lots of lovely feedback from an appreciative crowd. St Elizabeth's House

Another lovely sunny Devon wedding. Slightly different gig today. Classical violin pre ceremony while the guests had a drink. Electric violin tunes for the post ceremony drinks. Kept it upbeat and lively! Lovely gig.

Wow! What a beautiful venue @coombelodgeblagdon . Lovely summer wedding in the gorgeous sunshine. Full day today. Violin for the wedding ceremony and the drinks reception. This included the lovely A Thousand Years for the brides entrance and my new arrangement of signed sealed delivered by Stevie Wonder for the exit music. Then I moved onto piano to accompany the wedding breakfast. Great day at a beautiful venue.

Lovely wedding reception at Tuxton Farm last Friday. I played a selection of popular songs and tunes on the electric violin while guests chatted, had a drink and even a bit of a dance!

Rock Choir. Caroline Redman Lusher. What a way to end the most wonderful Rock Choir weekend. 150 Rockies singing their hearts out yesterday at our big sing which was hugely emotional. Today we were at Teignmouth Airshow singing in the Devon sunshine. Another great gig with the Devon Rockies and another great audience. We are well and truly back guys! Im still buzzing from that fix of singing, are you?

Beautiful day for a wedding at the Venus Cafe on Blackpool sands. Congratulations to Sam and Rich. A mixture of classical music and pop and rock hits while the guests relaxed on the beach. I played some new arrangements today including ‘you’re my best friend’ and ‘Love if my life’ by Queen and Beyoncé Crazy in Love! #musiciandevon #devonviolinist

Nice local wedding today, this time with the Exe Valley Trio. We played for Kate and Ben's wedding in Cheriton Bishop. A really lovely ceremony that was spoken both in English and French. We played our own bespoke arrangement of the theme to 'A Little Chaos' which was very well received. We then went off to the local barn to play for the drinks reception (while the rains came)

RACE FOR LIFE - PLYMOUTH 2022. Always a very special and highly emotional gig. Very rewarding and a lovely event to be invited to sing at. Well done to Plymouth Rockies and a few visiting Saltash Rockies as well. Great place to sing with lovely views. Thanks Harrison for the pictures.

Lovely summer wedding today with the Exe Valley string Quartet. We played at a new venue for us The Moorland Hotel which is up by Haytor on Dartmoor. Stunning views! Great to play the ‘you and me song’ again for the wedding party exit. Great song. Congratulations to Jade and Jordan.

I had the pleasure of joining Exe Valley String Quartet and playing at the very beautiful Hareston Manor Weddings last Saturday. We even got to play in a tee-pee! We played 'At Last' for the entrance of the wedding party and 'You've got the love' for the exit. We also played a brand new arrangement of ' The Luckiest' by Ben Folds which is gorgeous!

What an awesome few days we had! South Devon Rockies literally rocked the whole of South Devon. To celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee we rocked Teignmouth, Dawlish, Torquay and Paignton all in the space of 4 days. A happy time for us all to remember! Rock Choir.  We even squeezed in a flash mob at the Riviera Airshow as part of our 70 falsh mobs in 70 towns event.  Great gigs!

Wow, what a Saturday!  I had the pleasure of playing on the beach at The Venus cafe Blackpool Sands for Fee and Simons wedding on Saturday. I played the Canon in D for Fee's entrance and then we rocked out to Mr Blue Sky which is a new piece in my repertoire.  I then drove a short distance to Ringmore by Bigbury to play at a suprise birthday party.  It was all very exciting as the birthday girl new nothing of the party or the fact that a violinist would be there to play her in.  Imagine her face when she walks into Sky full of stars by Coldplay! It was awesome! I then played a mixture of light jazz and classical favourites while the guests had a drink before dinner.

Beautiful wedding today at the idyllic @TawstockCourt in North Devon. We played for the traditional church wedding. Canon in D for Lauren's entrance followed by Blinding Lights for the signing and our brand new arrangement of Beautiful Day by U2 for the exit of the bridal party. We then accompanied the champagne reception on the terrace with a selection of rock and pop favourites. Congratulations Lauren and Greg. #tawstockcourt #exevalleystringquartet

I never forget how lucky I am with my job. Today I played at @hotelsandycove with the sea in the background. Beautiful wedding with really lovely music choices. Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran for Megan’s entrance. Everything by Michael Buble for the signing and Best day of my life for the exit. Lovely families and a great venue. Lovely to work alongside Laura at @freeformimages.co.uk again. she is awesome. #hotelsandycove

Lovely wedding today just outside Exeter. Ceremony and drinks reception inside a marquee due to the poor weather. Lots and lots of classical music today including some opera excerpts which are so nice to play.

It was my pleasure to lead the orchestra in this choral concert in Crediton.  It was so lovely to play the Faure Requiem which is a delightful piece of music that holds many fond memories for me from my Conservatoire days.  After the interval we played Vivaldi's Gloria which is another great work. The choir was North Creedy Choral Society.  I really enjoyed playing in an orchestra.

Fantastic spring wedding in Ilfracombe. Solo wedding at The Tunnels hotel overlooking the sea. Nice to play some unaccompanied Vivaldi. Long road trip for me but always worth it.

Lovely wedding in the April sunshine. Beautiful venue Pynes House and a big thank you to the wonderful Natalie Hyland Weddings & Events for the welcome. Nice to play something a bit different today. Yours by Ella Henderson, River Flows in me and a lovely gentle version of Symphony by Clean Bandit. Then I played for the drinks reception in the beautiful rose garden.

Brilliant Sunday music day. I joined the Plymouth Philharmonic Choir choir and orchestra to put on an amazing performance of Verdis Requiem at the wonderful Plymouth Guildhall. What a great piece of music! Loved the challenge of a last minute switch to violin one!
