About


Originally from East Sussex, The Gloucestershire Harpist started playing the harp at the age of 12, for such events as: weddings, civil ceremonies, church services, civil partnerships, receptions, wedding breakfasts, christenings, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate functions, product launches, dinner functions/parties, charity events, funerals, and many other special occasions.

Her harp-playing is rich and exciting for the more attentive listeners, and also has a pleasant and mellow style, which can be used as background music during receptions, wedding breakfasts or dinners.

The Harpist was prompt and efficient in setting up and tuning. The music was lovely and the playlist she had selected was perfect for the event. Everyone commented on how lovely the music was, and on finishing she was more than happy to chat about her training and the harp itself. She is a lovely, friendly and talented lady, we thank her profusely for her performance.
