I thoroughly recommend Christine for any event or occasion, weddings, corporate or live music venue. She is superbly talented with a beautiful voice and an ability to engage her audience. Our guests commented as soon as they walked in the room, that Christine was amazing. We booked Christine to provide some engaging background music to add to the ambiance of our informal celebration event. And she certainly delivered. The volume was perfect and it made guests feel relaxed, listening while also able to chat. Great communication before the event regarding PAT testing and what was required. Christine arrived fully prepared and happy to tailor the set up and performance to our audience. Thank you for helping to make our event special and memorable for our community.

Musicians in London
Depending on what you require, the music can be soft and non-invasive - just enough to compliment the conversation and keep your guests happy; alternatively, you might want a performance where your guests focus on the musician. This works for wedding ceremonies, product launches, fund raisers and more.
Popular Types Musicians
Musicains such as Violinists, Harpists, Pianists and even Bagpipers can be booked for solo performances. If your budget allows consider hiring a group of musicians such as a string quartet to make an even bigger impact.
One of many excellent String Quartets that can be booked to play in London
If you are not sure what type of music to aim for - there are fantastic Lunch Time Concerts available at the Wigmore Hall - a place of sanity in frantic Central London. Their midday programme is varied and always interesting - and offers an opportunity to hear different types of classical music performed by talented soloists, duos, trios and more.
Alternatively, you might enjoy a visit to the V&A Museum in Kensington - their Music Gallery is enchanting and might give you some useful pointers.
