The Thackeray String Quartet or String Trio hire will provide relaxing background music, suitable for any event. 

The four players in Thackeray String Quartet are friendly, highly experienced musicians, based in the North West.

In addition to our quartet work, we have played with the region's top orchestras such as Halle, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Opera North and Northern Chamber Orchestra. We have worked in West End shows, toured throughout the UK and have appeared as backing musicians in bands for artistes such as Katherine Jenkins, Russell Watson, Hayley Westenra, Texas and for the Strictly Come Dancing Tour.  

Our playing is versatile and we perform a huge variety of Repertoire, ranging from Classical favourites to Swing, Tangos, Beatles and a growing selection of Popular songs including: One Day Like This (Elbow), You're Beautiful (James Blunt), Game of Thrones Theme, Songbird (Eva Cassidy), A Million Love Songs (Take That) and the newest favourite - music from Bridgerton.  The selection is always increasing and the quartet is happy to perform music of your choice. 

The string quartet can be hired to perform inside a venue or – weather permitting – outside in the gardens.
