Louise Bevan (violin) and Clea Friend (cello) set up 'Recitals for Wrigglers' in 2014. Their aim was to create informal classical concerts for babies, toddlers and their parents. The concept has been so much fun to create and so well received that they now have eleven recital programmes with different themes that all include 'real' classical music which they perform live. They have performed sellout shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton International Festival and The Royal Palace of Holyrood, and perform concerts in and around Edinburgh and the south of England.

Louise Bevan studied at Trinity College of Music in London where she won several prizes and scholarships. Since then she has played live on BBC Radio 3, at the Brit Awards, for the Queen at Buckingham Palace, for a variety of film and theatre productions including the Royal Shakespeare Company.

She has played with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Royal National Orchestra of Scotland, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Louise was a member of the Archaeus Quartet until 2014 when she moved to Scotland and formed Recitals for Wrigglers.

Clea Friend studied music in Edinburgh and then focused on cello playing at Eastman School of Music in America. Since then she has gained an MSc in Music in the Community which has led to many exciting and rewarding projects with children and adults who have additional support needs.

She combines a freelance playing career (playing with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the Royal National Orchestra of Scotland) with teaching and community music projects in Scotland and in the Balkans.
