"I have known and worked with London String Group for many years. They bring such an energy to the Madness live shows, sound fantastic, and always put a great team of players together.

 

In the recording studio they were so highly efficient, and clearly have spent years in the industry. The management and organisation of London String Group was fantastic and made dealing with our management team a breeze."

"I cannot say enough praiseworthy things about London String Group. I've been fortunate to work with them both live and in the studio. Ruth and Tina always bring the very best.... The most competent, professional players who get the job done. The string arrangements are always written to perfection so that even on a first time run through of material the notes, pitch, blend and dynamics are spot on. In a professional music world where time always equals money, this is an organization you can count on 100 per cent to get your music project done right and with style every time!"

ESTA Awards Testimonial Phoebe Waller Br

"There really aren't many like the London String Group. From a sound team perspective it simply doesn't get any better. Always ready to do whatever's needed, nothing seems to be too much trouble, and always a pleasant demeanour from each and every member.

Making something difficult look easy shows true class and professionalism. They've got both in spades. Absolutely huge respect for just quietly getting the job done!"

 "I've worked with London String Group on a couple of tours prior to using them for a festival show with Jimmy Somerville.

   

I needed 8 new string arrangements to fit in sympathetically with already established brass section parts. They worked quickly and had great communication throughout the writing. All of the arrangements were of a very high musical standard and fitted in perfectly around the existing parts. 

 

I cannot recommend them highly enough."
