I would normally arrive around half an hour to 1 hour before the performance, in order to check equipment and have a sound check.

I have two already formed groups who regularly perform - the ‘AZUL’ Electric/Acoustic Violin Duo alongside the amazing violinist Naomi, and ‘Iris and Steel’, my folk band, who can perform up to 3x45 minute sets of both originals and covers. Please get in touch if you would like to hear more about these!
