To end a busy week of gigs with Exe Valley String Quartet The Exe Valley String Trio played a lovely wedding at Harefield Barn We love this venue. A gorgeous setting for a wedding with really lovely staff. We played I Giorni, Sweet Disposition and Everlasting Love amongst a range of other hits... and the weather was kind to us.

It feels like our second home. Rockbeare Manor. Another August wedding with the Exe Valley String Quartet. The bride made her stunning entrance to Pachelbels Canon and we played All of me and Halo in the signing. We even got to play our funky version of Toxic in the reception. Great gig today.

Today we went back to Mount Edgecombe for our second visit of the summer. The weather wasn’t quite as nice as last time but we still had a great morning singing and smiling and entertaining the locals. Well done Rockies for being professional as always. Gigs are what you make them and today was great. Thank you Miss Ivy Events for the invite.

Out with the Exe Valley String Quartet today playing at a wedding. First time at Lupton House for a while. We played two brand new bespoke arrangements from our ever expanding repertoire. Chapel of Love and You are my first my last my everything by the legendary Barry White. You know it kind of worked for string quartet ok! Love South Devon.  Ceremony and drinks reception in the gardens - lovely summers afternoon!

Thank you Dawlish Celebrates Carnival for another great gig. We always love to sing in Dawlish and the audience was lively and so appreciative. We even got a standing ovation at the end! I am proud of my choir members for singing with so much intensity and enthusiasm in such 'hot' conditions. Each and everyone of you were brilliant yesterday and you all look so smart. Well done everyone!

Yesterday I played my first gig at Mount Edgecombe House. Such a great venue for a wedding. A lovely sunny day and I got to play some Enya which sounds so beautiful on the violin. 

Lovely summer wedding in sunny Somerset. @crowcombecourt . Special request for ‘Daisy Daisy’ in memory of Felicity’s gran. A chance to play my new arrangement of From this moment by Shania Twain. Lots of lovely feedback. Congratulations Felicity and Neil. Beautiful setting.

Busy weekend. Sunday I joined Lucy and played as a string duo for a wedding ceremony and drinks reception at the very lovely Deer Park Country House . I transcribed 'Flowers' by sweet Female Attitude and we played it just before the ceremony. We played a stripped back version of 'Say you won’t let go' by James Arthur for the brides entrance. Lovely wedding at a beautiful venue. Nice to play as a duo.

Wow! What an amazing place to play. Love Mapperton House & Gardens I played for a small intimate wedding in the gardens and then played for the drinks reception and photos. Really enjoyed playing my new special arrangement of Paramore The only exception. Thank you for your lovely welcome. I had a great day.

Back to our second home today Rockbeare Manor. Always a lovely place to visit. Beautiful wedding as well in the Devon sunshine. We played 'Latch' by Sam Smith today during the signing of the register which is a really lovely song. We also played a slowed down acoustic version of 'Came here for love' which works so well for string quartet. Then we went outside into the garden house to play a range of pieces and songs for the drinks reception.

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

Lovely summer wedding with the Exe Valley String Quartet. A Thousand years, A million Dreams and I’m yours in the ceremony. Nice to try out some new arrangements today as well. Take my hand, Mardy Bum and cheap Thrills. All great new additions to our already extensive repertoire. New venue for us today. Beautiful and such lovely staff! @Uptonbarnandwalledgarden.

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!

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!
