We booked Gina for our Joint birthday celebration. (70 )We were delighted to book Gina through encore . The evening as reported by our family and friends was just amazing ,the range of music from classical film ,traditional and Irish was excellent. Gina bought her voice and her heart playing very much to the enjoyment and appreciation of all the guests. Her music provided an equally amazing backdrop to the venue . Thank you Gina it was a pleasure to have you perform such beautiful music . Thank you Daniel and Rosemary

Customer questions

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

No problem at all, I am very flexible with timings and only usually take one booking a day/evening

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to arrive at least an hour before hand to set up and get changed before guests arrive.

Is the transport of your harp included in your quote?

Yes within 25 miles of my location in West London, beyond this I add a reasonable charge.

Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?

No I provide a PA System for outside, just a power point would be great.

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

Of course and I am happy to include any requests whenever possible.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I am happy to learn new music if I can adapt the music to work on the harp. Its always fun to learn new music and songs.
