Hi there,
I’ve just been listening to your music – you sound wonderful!
We are having a masquerade Christmas dinner at the Andaz Hotel in Central London on December 21st.
We were hoping to have some blindfolded musicians ( possibly dressed up) playing throughout the meal.
Would the three of you be available and how much would you charge for 3hrs?
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the Cavey String Trio, the ensemble generally cost £480.00 to hire for a non bespoke booking anywhere within Greater London and the Home Counties. There can be an additional fee for transport if it is outside the M25 as the musicians are based in and around Central London.
Hi, we are getting married very soon (eeekkk) and I have decided that we need music to add something special to the civil ceremony. It is at 3.30pm on Fri 20th July 2012. Are you available and what is the cost?
Many thanks
Mel
