String Musicians

Elegant, understated, and undeniably emotive, string artists can be a wonderful addition to any event. Whether you’re looking for a harpist to play a romantic track as you walk down the aisle, or a string quartet to bring a touch of sophistication to a corporate event, you can find talented artists in our extensive catalogue.

A string artist to suit every mood

If you’re looking for a string artist to hire, you have an array of options and instruments to choose from:

• Harpists: This type of string artist offers a beautiful and ethereal sound that’s gentle yet powerful. A harpist like Helena Pearson gives both traditional and contemporary tracks a magical feel, while Ada Grace pairs her harp playing with stunning vocals.

• String quartets: Combining the musical talent of four incredible artists, a string quartet promises to give your event in the North West or North East a sophisticated vibe. Our classically trained artists cover a wide range of musical genres, from indie and folk, to classical and contemporary. Some of our most sought after musicians include Armstrong Quartet and Aurora Strings.

• String duets: A duo such as Abbey Strings can provide the same energy and atmosphere as a quartet while catering to smaller venues and more intimate events.

• Violinists: Violinists can provide everything from classical accompaniments to vibrant electronic soundtracks. Find a string artist like Joel Grainger, who has a unique live-looping style for a truly engaging performance.

• Guitarists: From instrumental guitarists playing Classical and Folk genres to Acoustic guitarists who provide strings and vocals, guitar players offer versatile music styles.
