Simon Lewis, Land Rover
Kate the violinist was truly spectacular at our Range Rover Evoque Launch, she entertained and indeed memorised our guests all evening with her exquisite performances. We received so many compliments about Kate, her quality and music was perfect for our occasion and what impressed us all was her commitment to the evening, she played all night! A true professional, we would not hesitate to recommend Kate, particularly if youre looking for that wow factor for your event.
- Simon Lewis, Sales Manager, Land Rover
Kate played at the Yorkshire Cancer Research Art Exhibition which was held at Pavilions of Harrogate last May. The event was attended by around 350 people and was opened by The Rt. Hon. William Hague. Following our initial discussion, Kate chose a selection of classical and elegant popular pieces to play. Her performance was impeccable and I received many complimentary comments. I would not hesitate to use her again.
- Sally Crerar, Cancer Research UK
When we were planning our wedding we of course wanted to make the day as memorable and beautiful as possible. We were searching for ideas for our wedding whilst in Leeds City Centre one day and heard Kates music down the street. We ventured down to see her playing, and we both commented on how wonderful it would be to have her play at our ceremony. We approached Kate who was really friendly and kept in communication with us up to the big day. Kate helped us to pick the music we wanted, sending us samples of suggested tracks, and finding backing music for ones we requested. On the day of the wedding Kate didnt disappoint, everyone commented on how wonderful her music was and the violin added a real touch of class to our day. Kate was on time, immaculately dressed and played wonderfully wed really recommend Kate for whatever your event. Weve since listened to Kates new album which is great, and has a real mix of classical favorites and modern hits.
- Vikki & Gareth Brown
Thank you so much for your wonderful performance last month, I know our guests were thrilled with your bright, and vibrant performance.

Kate played a varied set of classics and popular tunes, displaying a virtuosity that immediately seized the audience. The assembled group were entranced and said they couldnt wait for her to come back to play for them again.
- Jeff Pickersgill (Leeds society for Deaf and Blind People)
Having heard Kate playing on Briggate we knew she would be absolutely perfect for our event... and she was. Playing during the drinks reception she set exactly the right tone and guests loved her. Would definitely recommend.
- Emma Farquharson - Banana Kick
Everyone enjoyed the concert on Wednesday. It was enhanced by your beautiful playing. Good luck in your musical career - you deserve to succeed.

Katarzyna has deputised on violin for my professional band Charanga del Norte whilst studying for her BA in music at Leeds University. She has a great sound and is a pleasure to work with!
- Dr Sue Miller - Leader Charanga del Norte
The wedding guests all commented on 'that wonderful violinist' who really got the event off to an emotional start. Kate's pieces were played with great passion and enthusiasm which added a terrific dimension to the whole day. Kate had put together a brilliant score which included something for everyone and it was presented in a way that captivated her audience. The whole day was made complete because Kate added a unique strand of magic which brightened up everyone's hearts.
- Howard & Bernadette Fanning
Kate played at our recent Silver Wedding at Ripley Castle. Everyone there thought she was fantastic! We were really pleased with her musical choices for the evening and her violin playing is simply brilliant. As we arrived at the venue, we could hear Kate start to play, which was a nice touch and set the mood for the evening to come. We would recommend her to everyone, whatever the occasion.
- Simon Priestley
After 2010: We look forward to you playing - we've had so many lovely comments from people when they have found out you would be playing again next year!

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for playing at my wedding yesterday. Many of my guests commented on how fantastic you were and you made the ceremony feel very special. One guest thought you had purposely worn a red dress to compliment my flowers!
- Kate & John Derry
I arranged for Kate to perform at my son's wedding on the 4th June 2011. Kate's performance, manner and professionalism was superb. All the guests were so impressed with her music; it made the day extra special. I would recommend Kate wholeheartedly to anyone wanting to add something special to their personal events.
- Nicola Aston
Kate was very professional and creative in her performance at the recent wedding at Whirlow Grange. We see many performers and creative individuals and Kate was up there with the best. She was helpful and reflective of the needs of guests and the wedding party. All round a first class choice of performer.
- Graham Holland MA Warden & General Manager at Whirlow Grange
Having had Kate perform at our wedding earlier this year we are delighted to recommend her. Her repertoire was excellent. She was professional at all times, and communicated regularly. Her Violin music was beautiful at the Hotel wedding ceremony and the blessing service that followed held at Bolton Abbey Priory in North Yorkshire. Kate is a real find!
- Jane & Paul Holmes
I saw Kate playing her violin in Huddersfield Town Centre; I never knew the violin could sound so beautiful. Some of the tunes Kate played brought a tear to my eyes and a lump in my throat. If you get the chance to see her play you will not regret it and I recommend her CD's to play to relax, they will make you drift away from the stresses of the day.
- Dave Sanderson Centre Manager
Just to say thank you for your truly wonderful playing yesterday. Many guests from my 50th birthday party in Lincolnshire have contacted me today, mentioning how much they enjoyed listening to you. My most sincere best wishes for all that you hope to achieve in the future.
