A nice change of scenery and a quartet road trip @CourtCrowcombe

See why so many couples choose The Ardeton String Quartet for their special day...

Accurately documented in today's plan for the day! #stringtrio #weddingmusic

Bit of an Italian Job moment as we arrived to a wedding at Grittleton House this week...

@gavinthorpe Sounding great @gavinthorpe!

We've got everything crossed that the government keeps its commitment to raising guest numbers at wedding today. So, so many changed dates and plans. Luckily we have done some other performing work, but for many venues and suppliers this could be devastating. #whataboutweddings

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

A few news stories are making suggestions about prolonged wedding restrictions. Our understanding is nothing has changed pending further guidance in 2-3 days. #fingerscrossed #ukweddings

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

As always, we're here to help couples in any way we can in light of today's government announcement on weddings into the summer. Thanks for sticking with us!

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

Our own #whataboutweddings sit-rep: We've done less than 10% of our scheduled performances. 2020 became 2021, and increasing numbers are becoming 2022. If weddings had 1% of he help football seems to get, we'd probably feel brighter about this year.

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

Feeling for all our friends, colleagues and clients on the #whataboutweddings hashtag. It's understandably not a no.1 priority, but it feels like a sector completely ignored by @downingstreet and @BorisJohnson - I suspect we'll have couples shortly on to their 4th date.

[Bristol International Balloon Fiesta @bristolballoon]

Good morning Bristol! For the safety of our city, the Fiesta can't take place as normal, but we have a plan!

If you can’t come to the balloons, we’ll bring them to you, to enjoy from the comfort of your homes

Our friends @ABRSM have launched the Making Music Survey 2020 with the aim of measuring how teachers and learners engage with music education. If you're a music teacher - get involved! #MusicEd #musicteacher #ABRSMMakingMusic20 https://t.co/SY5M3MRW1N

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

At work at a South Bristol venue over the weekend. We're much better musicians than camera operatives!

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

Great afternoon playing for Kate and David at Coed-y-Mwstr. They really brought the outdoors in with that tree!

[Philip Pullman @PhilipPullman]

Reluctant as I am to tweet anything controversial, I have to say that listening to a solo violin played without vibrato sounds remarkably like toothache. Give me full-fat high-cholesterol vibrato any time.

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

All set for a wedding breakfast at the Harbour Hotel, Bristol.

[Ardeton Quartet @ardetonquartet]

Loading up the car for a second consecutive day of midweek weddings. #weddingmusic #cotswoldwedding
