West End String Collective

Short Description

West End Performers Sing And Play; A String Quartet Like No Other! Our dynamic string players serenade you whilst singing in four part harmony

West End String Collective have formed from a group of good friends; we crossed paths through navigating our careers as actresses; collectively, we have tread the boards of the West End, Shakespeare’s Globe, The Royal Shakespeare Company, The National Theatre and more. We have dedicated our lives to our trade, and we truly love performing and playing together. As musicians, previous gigs include Ed Harcourt Burberry Acoustic Session (Burberry); Michael Bublé on Strictly Come Dancing (ITV); Muse at the Brit Awards (ITV); and The Royal Variety Show (BBC). Our experience onstage as both actors and musicians lends itself very naturally to performing at a range of different events and I think we’re well adept at judging the needs of each, blending in sensitively and appropriately. We hope that our shared love of the music we play and our longstanding relationship as friends and players creates a relaxed, happy atmosphere for guests to enjoy at any event.

What to expect

Above all else, we are here to make your event unforgettable; our dynamic musicians / vocalists play across a range of genres and set ups, including; Traditional classical string quartet: Elegant and timeless, we offer you the classical repertoire, beginning with a three piece set up, expanding to the time-tested quartet formation and beyond. Vocal arrangements: Our signature move is to incorporate vocals into our arrangements where fitting. Having sung together on London’s West End stage, our group offers you vocalists who are truly at the top of the game. This unique take on string ensemble playing is a guaranteed head-turner; trust us! Folk / Traditional sets: Several of our players are passionately connected to Irish trad, and fiddle playing. We have a large repertoire of stunning trad / folk music, and love to get the party going. We offer a range of set ups, beginning quite minimalistic and expanding to the full piece folk set up, including guitars, mandolins, banjos, and of course, the fiddle! Pop / contemporary: Set arrangements of modern pop and classic love songs are a staple element of WESC. Add a stunning four part harmony into the mix, and (where desired) there won’t be a dry eye in the house!
