Performing for King Charles and Queen Camilla on the violin at Bridlington Priory
I have been influenced by many artists from my classical training and orchestral playing to pop, rock, dance, jazz and folk artists. I also love musicals and theatre too
I started my career on the violin from university in 2004 in quartets and band gigs. I have since done solo work for over a decade and played at events in the UK and abroad
All sorts of events from weddings to parties to formal events
I normally arrive 1.5 hours before the event and perform 2x 1 hour sets. This can be tailored to suit the occasion
I am very happy to play outside but I do require a power source so close to a venue is preferred
Yes, you have a meeting included in the package to discuss music choices for a ceremony only. There is a wide range of music to play for a drinks reception or party
This is feedback from a recent client for a wedding
'Ben was absolutely fantastic! From initial enquiry up until the event (and beyond) his communication was great, he always responded promptly and professionally. Ben is really passionate about music which shows when he is performing. He was flexible to our song requests and is a very talented musician! I would recommend Ben to anybody considering a live musician!'
