Hey! My name is Clodagh and I am the founder of Chiqas Music. I’m originally from Ireland, and live in London, working as a professional violinist. While studying at one of the top UK music conservatoires, I nurtured my passion for playing not only classical music, but pop and modern music, while also meeting and playing with some of the most talented musicians I have ever met, that have now become my bestfriends. I got such a thrill from playing music that people don't expect being played on classical instruments, and seeing people's faces when they spot 'My Humps' on our setlist, then their disbelief when they hear it actually works!
When I discovered how unique the addition of the acoustic drum sounded with the quartet, I knew I wanted to do this all the time. Playing top bangers in a supportive environment with my bestfriends allowed me to create Chiqas- just a group of gals who love playing banging music at a very high quality, in a supportive, positive and loving environment. Together we love playing banging beats and being part of your celebrations.

"LIVE MUSIC WASN'T SOMETHING WE THOUGHT WE'D HAVE AT OUR WEDDING, BUT I INSTANTLY KNEW I WANTED THEM WHEN I HEARD THEM PLAY.
The booking process was easy with great communication, and Clodagh was so patient with us. They were such a special part to our day."
THESE GIRLS WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I WOULD HAVE ASSUMED MY WIFE'S FAVOURITE THING ON OUR WEDDING DAY WAS ME, BUT THE GIRLS STOLE THE SHOW!
