Music is an important part of any event and Rachael is highly experienced at helping you decide on all the details that are going to make your day extra special, working closely with you to put together a personalised programme that is just right for your occasion. Her repertoire is extensive and spans pop, classical, disney, jazz and bollywood music. If there is a tune you love that isn’t on the list Rachael is always happy to learn requests.

Rachael grew up in Lancaster and began playing the harp at the age of 5. She went on to study at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts graduating in 2008 with a first class honours degree in music. In live performances, album recordings and TV she has worked with Guy Garvey, Corinne Bailey Rae, Beth Orton, DJ Shadow, Susan Boyle, Jimmy Osmond and Paul McCartney.

Rachael performs on a stunning French black and gold pedal harp. The harp adds a beautiful aesthetic to any occasion and as an additional visual detail Rachael wears a gown to match your colour scheme, whatever you’ve chosen. She can be booked solo or with her harp and cello duo and provides her own amplification for larger events.

    FAQs

    What time will you arrive at the venue?
    At least an hour before the booking is due to start. This gives me plenty of time to set up, tune up and change in to my colour-matching gown.

    Will you need refreshments?
    Just a glass of water or a coffee will normally do nicely, but you don't need to worry about that, I'll ask the staff when I arrive. If the booking is a long one then a sandwich is really appreciated.

    Do you need to take a break?
    Yes, I usually play for 50 minutes then take a ten minute break. So if for example you have me booked for three hours I'd take two breaks within that time.

    Do you play outside?
    I'm very happy to play outside as long as the weather is warm, dry and not windy, but please make sure you arrange this with me in advance. My harp can get damaged in hot sun so we'll need to make sure some adequate shade is available, usually the venue will have a gazebo or large parasol I can set up under. 

    Do you learn requests?
    Absolutely! Nearly any tune is possible, just ask.

    The venue has asked me if you have Public Liability Insurance - what do I need to do about that?
    I do have PLI. The easiest thing is if you give the venue my contact details and I can deal with them directly and send them a copy of my certificate. 

    Is the harp loud enough in larger venues?
    The harp has a lovely, rich acoustic sound and carries well. For bigger bookings I provide my own amplification so the harp can be heard whatever the size of your event.
