It feels like our second home. Rockbeare Manor. Another August wedding with the Exe Valley String Quartet. The bride made her stunning entrance to Pachelbels Canon and we played All of me and Halo in the signing. We even got to play our funky version of Toxic in the reception. Great gig today.

Out with the Exe Valley String Quartet today playing at a wedding. First time at Lupton House for a while. We played two brand new bespoke arrangements from our ever expanding repertoire. Chapel of Love and You are my first my last my everything by the legendary Barry White. You know it kind of worked for string quartet ok! Love South Devon.  Ceremony and drinks reception in the gardens - lovely summers afternoon!

Yesterday I played my first gig at Mount Edgecombe House. Such a great venue for a wedding. A lovely sunny day and I got to play some Enya which sounds so beautiful on the violin. 

Lovely summer wedding in sunny Somerset. @crowcombecourt . Special request for ‘Daisy Daisy’ in memory of Felicity’s gran. A chance to play my new arrangement of From this moment by Shania Twain. Lots of lovely feedback. Congratulations Felicity and Neil. Beautiful setting.

Busy weekend. Sunday I joined Lucy and played as a string duo for a wedding ceremony and drinks reception at the very lovely Deer Park Country House . I transcribed 'Flowers' by sweet Female Attitude and we played it just before the ceremony. We played a stripped back version of 'Say you won’t let go' by James Arthur for the brides entrance. Lovely wedding at a beautiful venue. Nice to play as a duo.

Wow! What an amazing place to play. Love Mapperton House & Gardens I played for a small intimate wedding in the gardens and then played for the drinks reception and photos. Really enjoyed playing my new special arrangement of Paramore The only exception. Thank you for your lovely welcome. I had a great day.

Wow! What a beautiful venue @coombelodgeblagdon . Lovely summer wedding in the gorgeous sunshine. Full day today. Violin for the wedding ceremony and the drinks reception. This included the lovely A Thousand Years for the brides entrance and my new arrangement of signed sealed delivered by Stevie Wonder for the exit music. Then I moved onto piano to accompany the wedding breakfast. Great day at a beautiful venue.

Lovely wedding reception at Tuxton Farm last Friday. I played a selection of popular songs and tunes on the electric violin while guests chatted, had a drink and even a bit of a dance!

Beautiful day for a wedding at the Venus Cafe on Blackpool sands. Congratulations to Sam and Rich. A mixture of classical music and pop and rock hits while the guests relaxed on the beach. I played some new arrangements today including ‘you’re my best friend’ and ‘Love if my life’ by Queen and Beyoncé Crazy in Love! #musiciandevon #devonviolinist

Nice local wedding today, this time with the Exe Valley Trio. We played for Kate and Ben's wedding in Cheriton Bishop. A really lovely ceremony that was spoken both in English and French. We played our own bespoke arrangement of the theme to 'A Little Chaos' which was very well received. We then went off to the local barn to play for the drinks reception (while the rains came)

Lovely summer wedding today with the Exe Valley string Quartet. We played at a new venue for us The Moorland Hotel which is up by Haytor on Dartmoor. Stunning views! Great to play the ‘you and me song’ again for the wedding party exit. Great song. Congratulations to Jade and Jordan.

I had the pleasure of joining Exe Valley String Quartet and playing at the very beautiful Hareston Manor Weddings last Saturday. We even got to play in a tee-pee! We played 'At Last' for the entrance of the wedding party and 'You've got the love' for the exit. We also played a brand new arrangement of ' The Luckiest' by Ben Folds which is gorgeous!

Wow, what a Saturday!  I had the pleasure of playing on the beach at The Venus cafe Blackpool Sands for Fee and Simons wedding on Saturday. I played the Canon in D for Fee's entrance and then we rocked out to Mr Blue Sky which is a new piece in my repertoire.  I then drove a short distance to Ringmore by Bigbury to play at a suprise birthday party.  It was all very exciting as the birthday girl new nothing of the party or the fact that a violinist would be there to play her in.  Imagine her face when she walks into Sky full of stars by Coldplay! It was awesome! I then played a mixture of light jazz and classical favourites while the guests had a drink before dinner.

I never forget how lucky I am with my job. Today I played at @hotelsandycove with the sea in the background. Beautiful wedding with really lovely music choices. Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran for Megan’s entrance. Everything by Michael Buble for the signing and Best day of my life for the exit. Lovely families and a great venue. Lovely to work alongside Laura at @freeformimages.co.uk again. she is awesome. #hotelsandycove

Lovely wedding today just outside Exeter. Ceremony and drinks reception inside a marquee due to the poor weather. Lots and lots of classical music today including some opera excerpts which are so nice to play.

It was my pleasure to lead the orchestra in this choral concert in Crediton.  It was so lovely to play the Faure Requiem which is a delightful piece of music that holds many fond memories for me from my Conservatoire days.  After the interval we played Vivaldi's Gloria which is another great work. The choir was North Creedy Choral Society.  I really enjoyed playing in an orchestra.

Fantastic spring wedding in Ilfracombe. Solo wedding at The Tunnels hotel overlooking the sea. Nice to play some unaccompanied Vivaldi. Long road trip for me but always worth it.

Lovely wedding in the April sunshine. Beautiful venue Pynes House and a big thank you to the wonderful Natalie Hyland Weddings & Events for the welcome. Nice to play something a bit different today. Yours by Ella Henderson, River Flows in me and a lovely gentle version of Symphony by Clean Bandit. Then I played for the drinks reception in the beautiful rose garden.

Brilliant Sunday music day. I joined the Plymouth Philharmonic Choir choir and orchestra to put on an amazing performance of Verdis Requiem at the wonderful Plymouth Guildhall. What a great piece of music! Loved the challenge of a last minute switch to violin one!

I played at the very beautiful Powderham Castle last weekend for the wedding of Kimberley and Jon. It was a wedding with a difference as it was taken by David Brent from The Office! It was hilarious! I played 'One Day like this' for Kimberley's entrance and then I went up to the famous minstrels gallery to play a variety of pop and rock violin covers for the drinks reception. It was a lovely day. Congratulations!
