"We were looking for a Cello and Violin player to join us on our latest EP recording and were very fortunate to have Shimmer Strings join us. They were very professional, reliable and friendly. As a dark rock band we needed musicians who could appreciate our style of music and that could recognise, interpret and enhance the atmospheric string elements that we required, which they both did exceptionally. We are all so happy with how the tracks sound, the strings have taken it to another level and captured the emotional content so well. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a committed and hardworking duo and we look forward to working with Rebecca and Julianne again in the near future!"

"Dear Rachel - What a wonderful sound you all made! It was such a gorgeous and luxurious art form to have on the day which could not have been lovelier. One of my enduring memories will be you all clattering out of the room with your music stands so that we could hear you properly! So many thanks and love to you all From Emma (Dame Emma Thompson) "

"We just wanted to say thank you to you all for Thursday. You were all brilliant and you helped make the ceremony and reception really special - we loved having you there and have received so many compliments about you from our guests. We’re really sorry we didn’t get to formally introduce ourselves on the day - unfortunately we were just so busy. Thanks again, Anthony & Courtney "

"Very professional string duo, played beautifully throughout or wedding ceremony and reception drinks. Our guests were so impressed and are still complementing us on our live musicians. Communication doing our planning was excellent, and all-round brilliant experience. I would recommend the Shimmer Strings and book again if I needed to. We could not have picked better! "

" I want to say a huge thanks to everyone in the orchestra, and particularly to you for being so supportive and sharing your experience and expertise on what has felt like a huge personal journey for me with Gerontius. The most difficult thing about delivering the piece is in managing the demands Elgar makes whilst always being present in the moment and understanding the purpose. It is a truly unique piece of music and I could not have wished for a more wonderful and confident group of players. They brought fierce resilience, skill, kindness and understanding, and a huge range of expression making anything possible. Best of all, it felt like we were all working as one team.  "

"We were so pleased with the music provided by Revelation Strings at my daughter's wedding and we received many compliments about the music from guests. Martin from Revelation was professional and informative and we felt confident going into the wedding day. The performance was a delight and added to the atmosphere of a truly beautiful day!"
