Based in Warwickshire, Jools is a highly sought-after violinist with over three decades of professional experience. While 2025 was his busiest year to date—characterised by a prestigious international performance in Dubai and a dynamic festival schedule—his core focus remains providing a bespoke, intimate solo soundtrack for weddings, funerals, and private events.

Jools’ reputation for excellence is built on his remarkable versatility. Recently, he has toured nationwide as a featured multi-instrumentalist (violin and guitar) for the ‘Summer in Nashville’ festival circuit. Performing with a premier Shania Twain tribute ensemble, he has played to crowds of up to 12,000 people at major venues from the Isle of Wight to Aberdeen. His collaborative work also saw him take to the stage at the legendary Cropredy Festival, further cementing his status within the UK’s live music scene.

However, when performing as a solo artist, Jools specialises in the "art of the atmosphere." Whether he is providing an enchanting backdrop for a wedding ceremony, an art exhibition, or a corporate event in a stately home, he brings a touch of elegance and personal connection that only a seasoned professional can offer. He prides himself on a truly bespoke service, working closely with clients to curate a repertoire that spans classical masterpieces, contemporary pop hits, smooth jazz, and traditional folk.

This sensitivity has also made Jools a firm favourite within the care sector. He maintains a busy schedule of regular repeat bookings at care homes and Memory Cafés, where his uplifting performances are specifically tailored to engage residents and those living with dementia.

Logistically, Jools is fully self-contained. He provides a high-quality, compact PA system with a small visual footprint—ideal for historic or intimate venues where aesthetics are paramount. For larger events, he is equipped to integrate seamlessly into house systems for a more expansive sound.

His career history includes national television appearances (The X Factor with Susan Boyle, The Gadget Show) and collaborations with legends such as Horace Panter (The Specials). A prolific studio artist, his recent credits include songwriting and session work for the Warner Chappell label, contributing to albums that have reached the Top 20 in the UK Americana, Indie, and Folk charts.

Whether performing for a private audience or a festival crowd, Jools combines technical virtuosity with a deep understanding of how to read a room, ensuring a memorable experience for every generation.
