As we do not sing or blow into our instruments there is no extra risk by having us perform. Our musicians present the same level of risk as any other attendee at your event. Our acoustic sound is naturally at a background level, meaning no one has to raise their voice to hold a conversation. We can socially distance while playing and can wear face masks if required. We are committed to following all relevant rules set out by government. Find out more about our covid19 response.

We are committed to following social distancing guidelines set out by government and by the venues we are visiting. For example we can sit an appropriate distance from each other and from guests and can wear face masks if required. Find out more about our covid19 response.

We are more than happy to play outdoors. In wet or very windy weather we will need protection from the elements (for example by using a gazebo with sides or by moving indoors) so it is a good idea to make sure there will be an option available if the weather conspires against us.

We have a database of ‘back-up’ players who can stand in if a player is unavailable on the day of your event through accident or illness – we would still play the same music and you would receive the same high standard.

A string quartet consists of 4 musicians; 2 playing violin, 1 playing viola and 1 playing cello. String quartets are very popular for providing background music because of the high quality but un-obtrusive sound they produce.

We can also offer a string duo for smaller spaces or tighter budgets.

We are happy to play at events around the North East of England, throughout Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Teesside. On occasion we also travel further afield. As an alternative if you are outside our area, the string duo is able to live stream to your event. Please contact us for more information.

Yes, we are happy to provide music for funerals as we understand that live music can make a big difference. Please contact us as soon as possible in the planning process to check our availability. We can generally access any hymns you would like or alternatively we have a wide range of music from classical to pop.

We have a very varied playlist, covering everything from traditional classical music through to pop tunes, film/TV covers, folk music and jazz. We will talk to you to select a range of appropriate music to fit your event. You can pick all the particular pieces you want us to play or just give us an idea of the type of music you like and let us do the rest. Please visit our music page for more information.

We normally wear black trousers/skirts and tops with either purple, pink, turquoise or blue tops. However, we can change this to fit in with your event, for example by wearing different coloured tops, smart dresses, suits or more casual clothing if you prefer. For workshops in schools we generally wear smart casual clothing.

With enough notice we are happy to learn your special piece of music to play at your event. Please phone or email us to discuss this in more detail before your event.

We are very happy to move between rooms at your event. We don’t use any specialist or electrical equipment so it is quick and easy for us to move to a different space, e.g. moving from the wedding ceremony through to the drinks reception.

We charge based on the length of time we are booked for. Prices start from £390. This covers all our costs, although for events a significant distance outside Tyne and Wear we may charge reasonable travel expenses. We can also provide a string duo (violin and cello). Prices for the duo start from £240.

Our school education workshops vary in length and content so for more information on pricing please contact us.

If you would like to book please get in touch with us to check our availability on the date of your event and request a booking form. We are formally booked for you once we receive the completed booking form and a deposit of £100.
