Acoustic Tapestry

More than anything, we love to make music. We started performing together as Felicity's sister, also a professional musician, is married to Jamie, and our family is pretty much all about making music together (along with our other sister, and Dad!) We have learnt that one of our favourite places to bring joy and harmony to are family events like weddings and other celebrations, as we love to witness the love and happiness while enhancing your experience with beautiful tunes! This is why we set up Acoustic Tapestry, and also why we became part of 4 piece function band House of Harmony! A bit about us... Jamie graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with a Bmus (Hons) in Classical Guitar Performance. It was here that Jamie developed his unique style and beautiful tone that has captivated audiences everywhere. Since studying, Jamie has also expanded his acoustic, fingerstyle guitar technique and song-writing, and is a Fishman Artist. He has released 3 albums of original music with his trio Threaded, to great critical acclaim. It was also with Threaded that Jamie wrote the music for the Red Earth Theatre production ‘Soonchild’ which they then toured throughout the UK. Jamie has played in many prestigious festivals and music venues across the UK including headlining Towersey Folk Festival and playing in The Royal Albert Hall. Jamie also works hard in other projects such as out-reach music in the Royal Derby Hospital, guitar teaching and delivering song-writing workshops. He loves spending his weekends performing with the function band House of Harmony and Acoustic Tapestry. Felicity has been singing since the age of 9 when she joined Derby Cathedral Girls choir. Since then, her love for different styles of singing has grown and she has sang in choirs, musicals, acapella groups and as a soloist in pubs, at weddings and other functions. This eclectic mix of music gave Felicity opportunities to sing all over the world in places such as Italy, Japan and Paris. Felicity completed her degree in Music at the University of York specialising in vocal performance. After graduating, Felicity moved to Reading to become a piano and singing teacher with Berkshire Maestros where she gained skills in choir directing and vocal tutoring in rock, pop, classical and musical theatre styles. It was here Felicity found a passion for working musically with people with additional needs, and so decided to pursue a career in Music Therapy by doing a Master’s Degree in Music Therapy at UWE Bristol. A year after starting this 3-year course, Felicity moved back to Derby to be closer to family and continued studying long distance. Felicity is now a qualified practising music therapist, and continues to teach piano and voice, while spending most weekends having a blast performing in Acoustic Tapestry and House of Harmony. We can't wait to hear from you! ​
