Linzi Stoppard is an electric violinist; who pushes the boundaries of musical convention with her passionate, live sets of rock, chill, dance and contemporary melodies. Ever challenging and always inventive, Linzi has transfixed audiences the world over with passionate and mesmerising performances. Each live, 15 minute set that Linzi plays sees musical influences from The Stones to Cafe del Mar bursting to life through electric strings and a bow that she wields like a magic wand.
With a sound ranging from the more chilled tracks (aka Enigma) to the vibrant rockier sound (aka Hendrix); her performance is a show in its own right and definitely not CLASSICAL!
Linzi is to the violin what Dita Von Teese is to ballet: she has taken her craft, made it her own and updated it for lovers of 21st century performance and art.
Linzi has been playing the violin since she was four and trained at the prestigious Suzuki violin school. Her musical success began in her late teens she was then spotted by two music producers who convinced her to front cult American group “Lords o Acid”, so she moved to Belgium and recorded Tattoo of Pain (vocals/electric violin). It resulted in major record deals around the world including EMI Europe and Never Records USA.
After the success of the album she was signed to EMI Belgium where she formed Babe Instinct and recorded "Disco Babes From Outer Space" which was a hit across Europe.
The famous violinist, Linzi Stoppard, posed in a dress entirely made of Lindt Chocolate's Lindor Balls and Swarovski crystals in the chilling climate of London looking absolutely hot. And now when Christmas is just the around the corner we may call it smart marketing on behalf of Lindt as well. Have a look!
Glastonbury Competition
In March, Linzi will be launching a national competition to Share a Stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival. Any 13-24 year olds wishing to enter will need to upload a video of their solo or bands musical performance. Entries will be judged by the same team that has run the festival's New Talent competition since 2004. The lucky winner will play a set on the Late N Live stage run by Concrete Recordings. Keep checking the CLIC seargent website for more info.

New Band - FUSE
Linzi Stoppard and Ben Levi have been playing our violins for a number of years, and we're very excited they have come together to form their new electric violin duo, 'Fuse'. In support of their work with the CLIC Sargent charity, we are making two stunning gold custom violins for their performances with Fuse, and winners of the Share-a-Stage competition. What a fantastic opportunity for the winner of this competition to play onstage with these two outstanding violinists at Glastonbury.

Linzi Stoppard, one half of the electric violin duo Fuse, launched the competition called 'Share A Stage' at St Laurence School in Bradford on Avon. The aim of 'Share a Stage' is to raise awareness for Practice-a-thon, a CLIC Sargent initiative designed to encourage young people to practice their music and raise money for children with cancer. At the launch Linzi and her fellow Fuse band member Ben Lee performed live to an audience made up of the school's music students and a group of young people from the area who are supported by CLIC Sargent. This group included Tom Hunt, a 17 year old from Bristol, who has recovered from extensive surgery and cancer treatment.

What they say
A lot actually! One moment she's cool and sexy, the next, an impassioned temptress, full of fire and vibrancy. Men tend to fall over themselves when faced by this former model, while women admire her feline glamour. And everyone is in awe of her ability.
She's one heck of a violinist. Already in great demand, this passionate performer has set the Cannes Film Festival alight and is recording her debut solo album.
The press say Linzi "looks like an angel but plays like Satan's personal violin player".
We say she’s simply stunning.
