"An evening with the Limelight String Quartet is not to be missed"

Planning your function

We will add elegance and good music to your occasion, be it in the smartest of hotels or in the intimacy of a private home, a marquee in a garden or a boat on a river. All we need is enough space to play, lighting to see the notes and people to enjoy the music. The sort of music can be your choice (obviously we’re not a pop band!)

See our repertoire list for some ideas, including classics, light music, popular, shows and the magic of tango [sound clip]. Alternatively, we can decide on the day what fits the mood of your event as it happens: when the godfathers have found their sunglasses, we can play ‘The Godfather’!
