No Strings Attached was formed when Rebecca, Polly, Caroline and Celia met in the Cambridge University Symphony Orchestra. Since then, their lively, charismatic, vibrant playing has taken them to a range of functions including wedding receptions, garden parties and summer balls. They have played at Terence Conran’s restaurant Bluebird in London, as well as the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and Powderham Castle in Exeter.
