What is an electric violinist?

An electric violinist plays an amplified violin, usually with backing tracks, performing modern covers of pop, dance and rock as well as classical pieces. The sound is big and bright, and the performance is far more energetic than a traditional string player.

Violinists can play a relaxed set for a drinks reception, a high-energy showpiece, or play over the DJ to lift the dance floor. Wireless kit means many can roam the room, and LED or mirror costumes add a visual edge.

Tips from our team

1
Choose the costume
From smart black to LED and mirrored looks, tell us your theme and we will match it.
2
Check the power
Violinists need a power point and either their own speaker or a feed into your system.
3
Brief the DJ
Violin over the DJ works best when they agree the tracks in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Newton Stewart have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do electric violinists cost in Newton Stewart?

Yes. Many have wireless kit and can move around the room or dance floor.

Do they bring their own sound system?

Most bring a compact system for receptions. For larger rooms we agree a feed into the venue or DJ system.

Can they play our first dance song?

Usually, yes, with notice. Send us the track and we will check with the performer.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
