Dylan is fantastic. He is a true profession and very talented. He played for my father’s funeral which is a hard “gig” for any musician but he was brilliant and made the funeral extra special. Forever in awe and with gratitude . Frances

Our wonderful harpist entertained guests as they arrived and then played throughout the whole ceremony, with pieces that had been specially selected by us.
