We have played at some new venues including Beechenhill Farm, Swallow’s Nest Barn and Hazel Gap which are all beautiful, yet uniquely different.

We have again, extended our repertoire to bring exciting, classic and current songs to our playlist. These include The One and Only, Thriller, Seven Nation Army, True Colours, Sex on Fire, Life on Mars, Dream a little Dream of Me and Best Day of My Life to name but a few.

We now have bookings as far ahead as April 2019 so don’t delay if you would like to book us for your wedding / event.

Well its September and today we spotted Christmas decorations in a shop in Nottingham.

We have lots of new and exciting repertoire has been added – Sam Smith ‘Stay With Me’ and ‘Beneath You’re Beautiful’ by Emilie Sande amongst classic songs ‘Happy Together’ (Turtles) and a ‘Crazy Little Thing called Love’ (Queen). We have also added two Einaudi pieces, ‘Le Onde’ and ‘I Giorni’ and a stunning arrangement of the ‘Feather Theme’ from the film Forrest Gump (perfect as a bridal entrance piece).

We are so often told that the reason we are booked is for our prolific repertoire – the choice of music we have is huge and keeps growing.

We started the quartet in 1997 and we had just 2 folders of music – now we have 14 ‘pads’ which equates to 550 pieces of music and 56 folders that we bring to every booking in 4 very large suitcases!
