"We recently had Andy performed at our engagement garden party. Booking with him was easy. He is a talented guitar player and his voice was amazing, everyone liked his performance, and praised the music. The atmosphere was perfect. Thank you Andy. What a wonderful performance on a beautiful day!"

Ideal for:

Multi-instrumentalists are going to be perfect in couple of different situations. If you're planning an event and are looking to have a variety of instruments to perform, then hiring a multi-instrumentalist is going to be a brilliant solution. For instance, you could have one musician performing on the Oboe during dinner, then move across to the Sax and perform alongside a DJ later on.

Similarly, If you are making a record and require multiple instruments, hiring a multi-instrumentalist is going to be a brilliant way to save money and not have the complex practicalities of booking lots of other musicians.

When booking Multi-Instrumentalists:

It may seem obvious, but when booking Multi-Instrumentalists it is important to mention that you will be requiring them to double up on another instrument. Many musicians will have several lines of communication, and possibly several listings, so it's important to mention your plans.

Wanting your musician to perform on multiple instruments may affect the quote that they send you, especially when recording, so take that into account when budgeting.

Whether you are recording or playing live, it's always best to make sure that your musician has Public Liability Insurance.
