I studied at the Royal College of Music both performance and chamber music.. I played with a professional string quartet in Yorkshire for 25 years before moving to East Sussex where I now freelance .
A solo cellist is perfect for a wedding ceremony, to play as the guests arrive, arrival of the bride , signing and exit, as required. Particularly suitable for smaller venues where perhaps space is an issue. Performing music from the classics to current popular music. Happy to source particular requests if suitable. Please refer to repertoire list for examples of what I can offer.
I have performed at hundreds of weddings over the years, both solo and with a professional string quartet covering Yorkshire and the south east for 25 years
. If there is a piano available at the venue I can also perform cello and piano. Please ask as this would incur a different fee.
Based in Wadhurst, East Sussex
= areas covered (up to 30 miles)
= free travel (up to 15 miles)
The following list is not exhaustive, more an example.

A memorable wedding in a tiny church in the middle of a field and Welly boots were worn by all to get there. Most amazing venue would be the royal courts of justice, London.
