Overview
Black Woods are a Guitar and Violin duo based in Scotland, ran by a couple, who specialise in arranging pop/trad/jazz/classical/indie and folk songs for acoustic guitar and violin - yes, we really play all types of music!
Laura - a Royal Conservatoire of Scotland graduate - adds the precision technical ability expected being the classically trained, immensely skilled musician that she is.
Aaron - a University of West London graduate (from Edinburgh) - brings feel and improvisational skill from the jazz, rock, and blues scene that he has spent his life in. Both styles and skill sets fused together create an exceptional sound, rich in traditional feel that dares to be experimental when the time is right.
Both Aaron and Laura are professional session musicians and teachers in their own right and met through the line of work. They each have years of experience playing with multiple other function bands every week including running the duo together.
Black Woods are perfect daytime entertainment for weddings and events. Please note the instant quote is based on the act performing a 2 hour drinks reception. For different timings please enquire directly via info@hireaband.co.uk / 01294 823 111.

The agency was very proactive and professional, fast responding to questions. The band was lovely, the two are absolutely delightful. So friendly, organised, punctual, and the music was just wonderful. We are very happy we decided to go for it as it made our ceremony truely special. Thanks to all of you
Everyone had a great time, the dance floor was never empty! It was a pleasure working with you prior to the event and your playing was superb on the night. I will have no hesitation in recommending you for future events.
We could not believe it was only a guitar and violin playing! It sounded as full as a band.
