I’m Shane Considine (they/he), alt violinist and pianist.

I believe that music should feel welcoming, affirming, and joyful. My work is about more than music - it’s also about care.

I write my own original covers, and work to create a space where you can feel safe, affirmed, and celebrated, without explanation or compromise.

The result is a personalised experience that speaks to who you are, as individuals & to-be-weds.l.

More about me

  • "a truly memorable experience"


    Shane was absolutely exceptional and played the violin beautifully for my proposal. From the very beginning, they were outstanding throughout the entire planning process they were professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive, which made everything feel effortless and well organised. On the day itself, they went above and beyond to ensure the timing and atmosphere were perfect, and the violin performance added an incredibly special and emotional touch to the moment. Everything was executed flawlessly. I will definitely be working with them again in the future and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience.

  • "Shane is just a wonderful human being"

    Shane is an incredible musician, and we are so grateful to have had them play on our wedding day. They were so easy to work with and completely dedicated to making our ceremony memorable and personal. Shane spent so much time with us going over our music choices and created wonderful arrangements of our favourite songs. Everyone loved the selection of music played pre-ceremony, and the communication and setup leading up to the day were seamless. We also highly recommend purchasing the handwritten manuscript that Shane offers. It is incredibly special for us to have a beautiful handwritten copy of the song we walked out to, to keep for years to come - a beautiful reminder of the talent that perfectly accompanied our ceremony. Beyond their incredible talent, Shane is just a wonderful human being. They genuinely feel like a friend for life now, and we are so honoured to have shared our special day with them. We couldn’t recommend Shane enough!
