If you’ve watched more than ten minutes of Bridgerton – or are forced to admit it under torture – you will be aware that the background music to the early-q9th century social events consists of a string quartet playing Haydn-like arrangements of recent pop hits.
The music is the work of violinist Conor Woodcock and his Ebor Quartet. Woodcock 28, and his partners live in Yorkshire. The farthest they have ever travelled is London.
But bookings are rolling in for weddings, parties and restaurants: ‘We are finding that people are specifically [requesting] Bridgerton-style songs, can you play Yellow by Coldplay because it was in season three, or Thank You Next because that was in season two.’
