We advise booking for weekend and Bank Holiday weddings well in advance to avoid disappointment! We already have 36 bookings in the diary and some clients have even reserved dates ofr 2014!

HSQ have been busy this week – starting with the beautiful wedding at Stoke Hall on Thursday, we have since played at The Carriage Hall, Kedleston Hall, Dodford Manor and Normanton Church.

Today we are off to East Lodge, Rowsley, Derbyshire for Suzie’s wedding.

Tomorrow we are playing for Nottingham University and the Nottingham Forest Football Club!

We are looking forward to playing new music including some Abba, Book of Love (Peter Gabriel), Beyonce’s Halo and Think of Me from the Phantom of the Opera.

Then a few days rest until a busy wedding weekend again – this time The White Hart in Lincoln, Tutbury Castle and the Papplewick Pumping Station.

A packed September awaits…!

A Thursday wedding, and a first for Highly Strung Quartet. We will be playing at Stoke Hall, a new wedding venue in East Stoke near Newark, Nottinghamshire.
