Daniel Axworthy Violinist Classically trained Violinist, performing Classical Pop/rock and folk music.

"The violin from the village of chillage" Hans Zimmer

I am a very versatile Cheshire based Violinist with many years experience playing as soloist performing classical recitals or in small chamber groups and orchestras.

Plus many years of playing in bands with acoustic and electric violin. Styles ranging from Irish traditional to pop/rock covers and original material.

The very emotional aspect of my playing lends itself to performing at weddings and funerals.

I also have many years experience performing with bands of varying styles, with the ability to improvise and produce violin lines that will take any music to a higher level in recording studios or on the live stage.

I have been involved in recording for bands and a number of commercial projects for various composers.
I have worked on many theatre productions and was the recipient of The Cheshire Theatre Guild Award for music production in 2019.
