Lippy Kids Quartet Surprise
Lippy Kids Quartet Surprise
Custom Quartet Arrangement
First, I arranged Lippy Kids by Elbow for a wedding. Our bride, Pippa, wanted to surprise her husband‑to‑be. So, I created a bespoke string quartet version. It marked the first arrangement of this tune for strings. Then we performed it just before the ceremony entrance. Moreover, every guest smiled when they heard that riff. This moment reminded me why I love crafting personal live‑music experiences.
A Full‑Circle Connection
Back in 2012, I worked with Elbow on their Olympic song First Steps. You can spot me on the right of the behind‑the‑scenes video here:

Next, arranging Lippy Kids felt like a full‑circle moment. Furthermore, it blended my arranging skills with memories of performing alongside remarkable artists.
