Violinski was a shortlived outfit formed in 1978 by the former Electric Light Orchestra members Mik Kaminski on violins, and Mike de Albuquerque on guitar and vocals; plus Baz Dunnery, John Hodson (drums), Paul Mann, John Marcangelo (keyboards), and Iain Whitmore (bass and vocals). At the time Kaminski was still a member of the Electric Light Orchestra, who were then enjoying their greatest success.

They released two albums, No Cause for Alarm in 1979, and Stop Cloning About in 1980; and featured on the Electric Light Orchestra 1999 compilation album, Friends & Relatives.

In addition, in early 1979 Violinski made the UK singles chart Top 40, thus becoming a one hit wonder with their instrumental single, "Clog Dance".
