Martin and Fran Russell (Peruga Restaurant, Bar & Lounge, Stockport)
The 4Tune String Quartet were a key part of our daughter’s wedding day. Their flexibility and responsiveness to our needs could not be faulted. A varied repertoire of contemporary pieces and recognisable classics provided the perfect backdrop to our celebration. ‘4Tune’ added a perfect note of understated formality to a truly memorable day. Thank you!!!

Marylyn Owen, Organiser of The Bolton News Red & White Valentine's Ball in aid of the Bolton Hospice 'Garden of Tranquillity' appeal (The Reebok Stadium)
The 4tune String Quartet played for our guests at the champagne reception for the Ball. The music was superb and very varied, we could not have asked for a more professional quartet. They had everyone enthralled, and the comments we received about the group after the event were all very positive and full of praise. Without hesitation, we would use 4tune again.

Paul Young (Last Drop Village, Bolton)
I came over from Charlotte North Carolina USA for the wedding and one of the highlights was certainly your music. You have a wonderful repertoire and you deliver the music with the right passion and proficiency. What a wonderful addition to the wedding. I can recommend your services without reservation.
