Communication, booking and performing

How We Work

One member of the quartet is your contact throughout, from the initial enquiry to the completion of your event. She responds to your enquiry and assists in providing any additional information that might be required.   Our aim is to work closely with you to ensure every detail is covered to your satisfaction.  We provide a professional and helpful service, and are always available for discussion and advice.

If you decide to book us, we will send you two copies of our booking form and we ask you to sign and return one copy with your deposit. We can take provisional bookings, but ask that you confirm within two weeks. We are able to take bookings over a year in advance but are also very happy to provide music for you at short notice.

We always arrive at least half an hour before the agreed start time to make sure that all arrangements are in place.

Our requirements at any event are:

  • about four metres by four metres of well lit space
  • four chairs without arms
  • shade - if playing outside
  • some soft drinks

If you need us to move it will take us approximately ten minutes to relocate ourselves.  It is helpful to discuss with you in advance the best location for the quartet during your event.

If any member of the quartet is unavailable for the day of your event, we employ a colleague to deputize.  To ensure that our high standards are maintained, we only invite musicians whose ability and professionalism is known to us personally.
