Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I use my music as a guide but I play a lot by ear too. I love live requests and I make my own arrangements which brings an individual style to my pieces. I strive to bring warmth, depth and feeling to all of my music so I think its exciting how the music changes depending on the atmosphere on the day.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Universal Studios, London. St Pancras Old Church. BBC Studio BH&B. Moor Park Rickmansworth. Oxnead Hall, Norfolk. Gosfield Hall, Halstead. Allington Castle, Kent. Clifton Hill House, Bristol. Lees Priory, Essex. That Amazing place, Harlow. Greenwoods Hotel, Essex. Furneux Pelham Church. Merriscourt, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire & more

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Sting, Catriona McKay, Norah Jones, Thomas Newman, Catrin Finch, Eric Clapton, Colin Reed, Ray Charles, Jeff Buckley.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Universal Studios.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

No problem at all. Once you book with me I am yours for that day for the agreed length of performance time.

How much time do you need to set up?

I always arrive an hour early, as long as I have a parking space nearby and disable access (for the harp trolley) I can set up, tune up and be ready to play very easily and quickly.

Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?

No, travel costs may be added and may vary depending on the distance I have to travel.

Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?

I must be undercover and out of direct sunlight as sun or rain could significantly damage my harp.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Absolutely, in fact I encourage you to think of any extra pieces you like as I love learning pieces specifically for people.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I adore learning new pieces in any genre, so yes absolutely. this is at no extra cost and all included in my price. I also sing if you would like vocals too.
