The Cozy Club, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

Katharine is beyond amazing!! She made my book launch (a 2 hour evening event) such a special event, for both me and my guests. She was such a joy to work with from start to finish. She brought parts of the book to life with her music, and hearing my requested songs choked me up a little (a lot!!) it was magical. Thank you Katharine! :)

Katharine played for my wedding in May. I wasn't;t sure what I really wanted music wise and was recommended her as a cellist, best thing I did, she was wonderful I still have people commenting and asking who she was! Highly recommended this lovely lady <3

Katharine played at our Wedding ceremony and was the absolute highlight of the day. She is an amazing talent!

Harlaxton Manor, Grantham, Lincolnshire

Katharine played her cello at our wedding and it was such a special addition to our day! She created a lovely impression for our guests as they arrived and it went so well with the beautiful surroundings.

I heard her for the first time as I was about to walk down the aisle and it was really emotional hearing my entrance music played so beautifully, at the specific part I requested. 

The beautiful music continued during our drinks reception and a musician friend of ours couldn't speak highly enough about Katharine's playing. 

Thank you so much Katharine! xxx

Sneaton Castle, Whitby, Yorkshire

5* - Katharine was an utter delight to work with from start to finish. We were lucky enough to have Katharine perform at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. She was the perfect choice and we could not have been happier! Katharine sounds fantastic and played beautiful renditions of our own song choices, which really personalised our day.

Katharine's repertoire is vast and our guests all commented on how wonderful she sounded, in addition to what brilliant song choices she'd put together for our day. 

I'd 100% recommend Katharine for any event!

St Wilfrids, Alford, Lincolnshire

Simply excellent... 5*

Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire

I started as a complete beginner on the cello and can't believe my progress since starting tuition with Katharine. She's an incredibly talented and passionate tutor with a vast knowledge not just about cello, technique and music theory, but also offers an amazing insight into cello repertoire and classical music in general. I'd highly recommend her for tutoring, especially if you picked the instrument up quite late in life like me!

The Village Hotel, Hull, Yorkshire & Humber

Having Katharine play for our wedding was one of the best idea that me and my husband implemented. The Cello solo was such a beautiful touch to the wedding event . Katharine played as I walked down the aisle and that moment plays over my head everyday- that’s how beautiful she played!! It was such a blessing to have Katharine play for such a special event. Only did we not enjoy it but our guests were amazed and they very much enjoyed the beautiful music that was played. All we can say is that Katharine is so talented and very professional!! Such an experience having a live instrumentalist at such a beautiful and memorable event. Thank you Katharine!
