Northlights's Biography

Line up: String Quartet: 2 x Violin, Viola, Cello.

Highlights
*Professional string quartet with a wealth of experience.
*An extensive and enchanting repertoire with classical, light and popular pieces. 
*Happy to tailor their set to suit your event.
*All members have years experience performing with some of Britain's finest orchestras.
*Available in parts of the North and Midlands.

Northlights is an established string quartet with a ten year history of performing at weddings, corporate events and private parties. All members are professional musicians.

Northlights can provide a varied programme of music to suit any occasion, from classical, light and popular pieces. Wedding music can be tailored to suit a church wedding, civil ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast.

All members of the Northlights are professionally trained experienced musicians, with many years experience of playing with the finest British orchestras, including the Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, Liverpool Philharmonic, Opera North, Northern Ballet, Northern Chamber Orchestra, Welsh Chamber Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Scottish Ballet and English National Ballet. In addition they are involved in teaching and educational workshops as well as a variety of freelance and studio work.

Over the years they have played at all types of events large and small, garden parties, charity events, campaign launches and conferences. Many bookings are for weddings and the quartet has a wealth of experience in working with clients to help them make decisions on music and helping them to make their day perfect. Weddings can be personalised by the choice of music and the quartet is always willing to help and advise on choosing music.

Although many of the clients who engage the quartet request light background music the members of the quartet are delighted when requested to play the more substantial classical works for string quartet and are happy to undertake more formal engagements and recitals.

All your time, hard work and effort was all very much appreciated and I would highly recommend you to others. Thank you very much you helped make our day just fantastic.

"My husband Graham and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your tremendous performance last Friday at the wedding of our daughter Julia to Andy.

I know my husband spoke to you at the time, but we had many of the guests comment on your performance and we were sorry that you slipped away before the speeches as I am sure that you would have got a standing ovation when my husband publicly thanked you.

Your repertoire was perfect for the occasion with such a wide range from classics, to musicals to pop!

Many thanks for making the day so memorable. We will not hesitate to recommend you.

"We’d just like to say thank you to you and Northlights for your beautiful playing at our wedding on 16th January. We had a lot of appreciative comments from our guests who wanted you to know how much they enjoyed the music – and it really did make our day too!

Thank you once again."

"I know that Charlie greeted you and a few people have told me that they spoke to you and said how much they enjoyed the music, but the afternoon went so quickly and we were whizzed away for photos!

Anyway I just wanted to reiterate on Charlie and I’s behalf and many others that you were superb, it was so lovely to have live music and it really made our ceremony and day very special.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day (sorry I was late!) and wouldn’t have changed a thing about it. Please pass our gratitude onto everyone, and thanks again."

"Just a very quick note to thank you and the members of Northlights for entertaining us on Sunday. Without exception all of our guests commented on how much you added to the day. We are particularly grateful for the lack of hits of the 60s, as requested.

We wanted a very informal day where our family and friends could relax and enjoy each others company. Your choices of music suited this mood exactly and was very much appreciated by all of us."
