Aylar Aldridge

Description

I am able to create personalised set lists depending on your event. I have experience working in the pop, jazz, classical and world music scenes and a variety of backing tracks that I can play along with on both my traditional acoustic and electric violin. I am also in contact with many live musicians across London so should you be looking for a chamber group I can also put together various combinations. I listen to my clients needs and ensure that everything is within budget. I am also very flexible should changes need to be made.
