A string quartet with a twist

Manchester acoustic band with cello and violin

If you’re looking for the most unique string quartet Manchester has to offer, Strings Attached are just that. Adding a touch of class and modern twist to your favourite songs, we pride ourselves on our unique arrangements, silky smooth vocal lines, and gorgeous cello and violin sounds.

David and Rebecca - Wedding

"A massive thank you to Strings Attached for performing at our wedding and covering our first dance. The music was perfect for our venue and our style of wedding and we had countless comments from our guests on how much they enjoyed their performance. After finding their performances on line we thought we'd found the band for us, and quickly made the decision to make the 6hr round trip to see them perform in Cheshire, which completely confirmed our assumptions. The music sounded great and the lead singer, Tolu, was amazing. All the band were so friendly and Pete was extremely helpful in making the arrangements for the booking. We cannot recommend this band enough, they truly helped make our day so special and we hope we get to see them perform again in the near future!"

James and Francine - Wedding

"We’d like to thank Pete and the rest of Strings Attached for the fantastic performance at our wedding back in May. We hadn’t expected the search for wedding bands to be so difficult but after a lot of evenings scouring the internet we were so relieved when we came across you guys. Having the band play in the afternoon as our guests arrived provided the perfect chilled out atmosphere that we were looking for. The band are incredibly talented, not to mention genuinely nice people (which always helps), and we received lots of great feedback about the band. Pete was a pleasure to deal with – which was particularly welcome since we had a million other things to be organising for the day. It was especially easy for us since not only did we have Strings Attached play in the day, but Pete also provided the equipment for our speeches and then DJ'd in the evening, meaning everything was taken care of. The DJ'ing was great – tailored to our taste and reflecting different moods throughout the day, plus Pete was really responsive to what the guests enjoyed. All in all, highly recommended."

Evelyne - Corporate Party

"I booked Strings attached at very short notice for our staff Christmas party at Dunham Massey Altrincham. The communication from Pete was second to none considering it was a very last minute booking! I would also like to mention that Pete can arrange a duo or the full ensemble depending on your preference. On the evening itself the band arrived early in order to set up & were even kind enough to assist with our own PA system. Their repertoire was a collection of modern songs with their own twist. 'Mr Bright side' played with the strings sound attached was amazing! A great evening was had by all. It was pleasure from start to finish. Thank you so much!"

Emma - Corporate Launch Event

"Strings Attached were an amazing and integral part of my book launch. Everyone loved their music and they brought a wonderful atmosphere to the event! I would definitely hire them again! I had so many positive comments about their choices of songs too. Perfect!"

Scott and Louise - Birthday Party

"The music you played was fantastic - everyone loved it and we had so many good comments from our guests. You were all great fun and entered into the spirit brilliantly. Ellie was always laughing. Ben always smiling. Tolu was a superb compere for the Battle of the Theme Tunes game. Obviously, you all went above and beyond the call of duty, joining in with my songs – but I think you guys really added to my ‘entertainment’, which seemed to go down surprisingly well."
