Weddings, Events, Bookings
Keats plays across the UK for a vast array of events. We're a popular choice for weddings, and lend colour to any event.
Weddings
The Keats Quartet will add sophistication and charm to your special day, whether a religious or civil ceremony.
We're frequently asked to play for:
- arrival of the guests
- entrance of the bride
- signing of the registers
- as the couple leaves
- accompanying hymns
- drinks reception/wedding breakfast
Music Choices
We love to accommodate music requests from couples; we would also be delighted to recommend pieces and guide you through the process should you require assistance.
For some ideas, please have a look at our repertoire page where you can also listen to our sample recordings.
Depending on your requirements, we are able to reduce in size to a trio or duo.
Events
Keats Quartet is consistently a popular choice for events bookings, due to our professionalism, efficiency, quality and fun entertainment value! We understand the importance of meticulous planning, of good communication with the client, and of excellent presentation - in short, everything that contributes to the overall success of a social occasion. At an event, we are ambassadors for those who have booked us, and are engaging but not obtrusive.
We have received glowing testimonials from clients and events planners, at venues including The View From The Shard, Claridge's, HMS Belfast, One Mayfair, Admiralty House, Warwick Castle, Old Royal Naval College Painted Hall in Greenwich, Rangers House, Admiral's House, 116 Pall Mall, the Turkish Residence, and Glazier's Hall. If you would like to discuss your event, please CONTACT US.
Session Work
Keats Quartet is an ideal choice for recording work, being both classically trained and extremely adaptable to playing 'outside the box'. The former ensures we have an outstanding ear for detail and the aptitude to execute quickly and efficiently the producer/engineer's requests. The latter comes as a result of our varied interest and enjoyment in a huge range of musical styles - both in what we play and what we listen to! Between us, we're into everything from mediaeval music to folk fiddle, from Glenn Miller to 70s funk.
From being asked to produce new and unusual sounds, to having to transpose at sight in one session(!), we are adaptable and efficient. With a heightened collective ear for articulation, tuning and timbre, we're an ideal choice for recording work.
