Congratulations to Chloe and Shaban for your beautiful wedding yesterday at the gorgeous Deer Park Country House. The sun shone and the ceremony at the summer house was very romantic. My versatility as a violinist was challenged as amongst the music requests were 'flashing Lights' by Kanye West, 'I get the sweetest Feeling' by J Wilson, 'The Only Exception' by Paramore and 'It Must Be Love' by Madness. It was a lovely day in a beautiful setting for a wedding. Richard Toomer - Violinist. www.musiciandevon.co.uk #weddingviolinist #devonviolinist

Lovely local community gig today in Courtney Park in Newton Abbot. Party in the Park 2026. Newton Rockies did everyone proud today as they sang beautifully in the Devon sunshine. Rock Choir Caroline Redman Lusher #newtonabbot

Lovely local gig in Buckfastleigh yesterday to help raise funds for the Orchard Millenium Green in the village. What a beautiful quaint Devon village green and a lovely local community fun day. There were lots of stalls and Punch and Judy and of course the famous Duck Race. Well done to the Torquay and Newton Abbot Rockies who came along and sang so beautifully. Lots of great feedback from the audience. What a great Rock Choir weekend that was.

Armed Forces Day Plymouth 2026. This is right up there as one of my favourite gigs of the summer here in South Devon. I love the passion and pride that surrounds this event. 140 Plymouth Rockies gave an exceptional performance to the crowds up on the Hoe which was full of energy, life and or course passion. Lots of comments from the public about how professional we look as a choir and how brilliant we sound as well. Love this gig! Very proud choir leader! Caroline Redman Lusher Rock Choir #plymouth

I had the privilege of playing for a beautiful summer wedding at Upton Barn & Walled Garden on Saturday. Congratulations to Ellen and James on your beautiful wedding day. I was a surprise for the guests today so had to wait until Ellen's entrance to play. She walked down the isle to 'Enchanted' by Taylor Swift which works so well for the violin. During the signing of the register I played two more new pieces to me, 'Little Things' by One Direction and 'I guess Im in Love' by Clinton Kane. Again great for the solo violin. A lovely day in the Devon sunshine. #weddingviolinist #devonviolinist www.musiciandevon.co.uk

Always a great gig with the Rockies.  Tuckers matings beer Festival 2026.  Two shows, 160 rockies singing their hearts out.  Lots of singing and lots of fun and laughter.  Great day in the Newton Abbot sunshine!

Old Town Square Plymouth April 4th 2026. We always enjoy singing in the City Centre. Its so nice to entertain the local shoppers and our friends and family. Great singing everyone! Big shout out to our new members who came along to sing with us for the first time at a gig - you were brilliant! I hope you enjoyed the experience! Lots of lovely feedback about how great we sound and how smart we look. Thank you everyone. Another performance that makes me feel proud!

Solo Violinist Wedding - St Anne’s House Plymouth. This was my first visit to St Anne’s House near Plymouth and what a beautiful location. Beautiful open rural feel with the sea as the backdrop for the ceremony. I was booked to play for the ceremony and the drinks reception yesterday and with it being outdoors I went with my electric violin. Alice walked into ‘You are the Reason’ by Callum Scott and the wedding party left the ceremony to ‘Wildest Dreams’ to give the moment a Bridgerton feel. It was a really lovely day at another beautiful location in South Devon.

Thank you Plymouth for the opportunity to have a festive sing last night in Old Town Square. It was so nice to sing in front of the beautiful Christmas tree. Well done to all the Plymouth Rockies for another fabulous performance and a shout out to members gigging with us for the first time - you were great! Busy time of year for the Rockies - tonight we are singing in Kents Cavern as part of the 'Carols in the Caves' series. Exciting! Rock Choir Caroline Redman Lusher #plymouth

You can’t beat a cozy autumnal wedding can you! One of my favourite venues Upton Barn & Walled Garden today. I enjoyed arranging and playing ‘I Need You’ the beautiful melody from The Hunger Games for the entrance of the bridal party. I also played some Elvis, One Direction, Queen and Natalie Cole in a varied set list. A lovely wedding ceremony. Off to North Devon tomorrow for a wedding at Watermouth Cove Weddings. #devonviolinist #musiciandevon.

On a very rare day off from playing at a wedding or corporate event somewhere across the South west of England we went over to Rockbeare Manor as a string quartet today to play for their wedding open day.  We met lots of couples who are getting married at this beautiful venue in the coming months and talked about the music they love and what their dream songs are for their bespoke ceremony ideas. Always a pleasure!

A gig with a difference for our Plymouth Rockies last night. We were honoured and privileged to have been invited to sing at the YMCA Plymouth Community Awards last night at the very posh Crowne Plaza Hotel. We set the tone for the evenings celebrations as we sang a twenty minute uplifting set of songs all related to movies (that was the theme of the evening). A really lovely evening with lots of sparkle and glamour and a great performing experience for us all. Well done Plymouth Rockies! You were awesome! Official photos of the evening will follow shortly.

I played for a lovely wedding ceremony at the very old but very beautiful Totnes Guildhall this morning. Just a small intimate wedding but a lovely atmosphere. Played one of my favourite songs today… You are the reason by Callum Scott! #musiciandevon# #WeddingViolinist #dawlishfiddler

Well done Plymouth Rock Choir. A fabulous performance this afternoon in Old Town Square by Drakes Circus. Lots of lovely positive comments from the shoppers and local public who stopped to listen. You should all fell very proud. You are all stars! Thank you to the weather Gods for keeping the sunshine out for us. I had an extra special afternoon as I popped over to the beautiful Barbican for Fish and Chips for a late lunch with my son Harrison! Love Plymouth! Such a beautiful City! See you there again soon Im sure. #proudchoirleader

We absolutely love to play at a traditional church summer wedding. The acoustics are always great for string instruments. This is St Mary’s Church, Wolborough in Newton Abbot. We played a couple of new arrangements today which is always nice. ‘The Power of Love’ by Jennifer Rush for the Brides entrance and also ‘All for Love’ by Bryan Adams for the exit of the bridal party and guests. We like to play songs and pieces that have an emotional meaning for the happy couple. (We even played for the hymns)To contrast we played the beautiful Flower Duet during the signing of the register. Lovely wedding ceremony in a beautiful old church.

Bovey Tracey Party in the Park 2025. This is rapidly becoming one of our favourite local community gigs on the calendar. 100 South Devon Rockies put in a brilliant performance in front of large crowds. Really great singing from everyone with real power and expression. You should all feel very proud! Well done to those rockies on their first gig with us as well - you were awesome. As you can see from the photos many rockies stayed on afterwards to celebrate. Lots of food and drink and of course lots of dancing and even more singing! We even got a shout out from Toby Anstis in his DJ set! Great day, well done everyone and thank you What's On Bovey Tracey Bovey for a great day! Bovey Tracey Carnival
