The quartet perform all genres of music on classical instruments – expect Bach to Bowie, Ravel to Radiohead, Mozart to Muse, Lady Gaga, Guns ‘n’ Roses and many more, excelling in sets originating from their Scottish roots. Pop and rock princesses at heart, the four ladies are passionate about music, write and arrange their own material and work with new artists across the musical spectrum. Their work can be ... heard on NBC’s show Smash, on adverts, including a recent L’Oreal advertisement played during the NFL Superbowl and on MTV.
