Bollywood Harpist – Midlands – Nationwide

After highly acclaimed performances of Mozart’s Concerto for flute and harp, A Ceremony of Carols, (Britten’s solo harp and choral work), and programmes of Opera with the RSAMD’s drama department, she went on to perform Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro for harp, flute, clarinet and string quartet. This was immediately followed by an invitation from Scottish Ballet to join the orchestra as principal harpist in 1985.

This Harpist has enjoyed playing her harp for guests, from such prestigious venues as Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland to the Hilton in Hong Kong, and is now very much in demand as harpist for weddings, corporate events, private parties and other celebrations.

Her wealth of experience and extensive repertoire of classical, traditional folk and popular music make her the perfect choice to enhance your special event.

If your event is non-religious, for example a Civil Wedding Ceremony, it is important to note that only secular music may be selected.

She usually declines requests to play out of doors. Weather conditions, rain or shine, adversely affect her valuable instruments and outdoor acoustics are also less than favourable! However, inside a marquee would be ideal, as long as it is properly floored and has appropriate access.

Wedding

What I would love to add was that we heard your music and we knew you were the one we wanted to play…… you are amazing and we are so glad you were part of our day.
Ema Curtis.

Thank you so much. Having you there playing, absolutely made it for us. It was so classy and lovely and far better than any CD! The whole day was perfect and we could not have asked for anything more. You were most definitely worth every penny.
Rob and Natalie Lees

Asian Wedding

We would like to thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. Our guests were particularly taken by how well you played the Veer Zara piece that we had requested. We really enjoyed your performance and would like to thank you for contributing to making our day so special.

Thanks again for Saturday, it was amazing. Reena is telling everyone about your playing.
Thanks also for staying longer than you we’re supposed to and for learning that song from scratch too. (Hey Shona, from Ta Ra Rum Pum).
I can’t thank you enough.
