24/02/2011 The Quartz String Quartet
"The Quartz were amazing, feedback from our guests was also complimentary. They also played outside whilst photos and drinks were taking place which was really nice of them and such a lovely touch.
I also asked for ABBA and Beatles melody, it was suggested that we may want to add other artists, which I left to them to suggest and it all fitted brilliantly."

"The Quartz String Quartet were perfect. They were helpful and provided us with additional music when asked and even came out to the garden to perform Star Wars and "You'll Never Walk Alone" without question and with ease. They were fabulous; everyone commented on them and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their music.
