No, not needed
I liaise with my clients. It's the case that I normally play in historic venues or churches or wedding venues or private events , so it isn't complicated.
No
Hard to say , as I just love playing in acoustic settings. The sound of the violin in a church or historic venue is compelling
Best venue is also hard to answer as I have loved playing in all of the historic settings, it really suits my antique violin and find the experience really inspiring and enjoyable.
Favourite classical violinist would be Nicola Benedetti
Favourite Irish Traditional Fiddle Player
