Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I aim to be as flexible as possible - if timings change slightly after booking, just let me know and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out!
How much time do you need to set up?
It depends, but I generally would allow around 45 minutes to set up.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, I am happy for you to choose pieces from the set list, or to request specific songs not listed.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I'll bring the harp and music with me. I can play standing or seated, but if seated it would be helpful if the venue can provide a chair. If you would like the harp to be amplified, I can discuss this with the venue.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Absolutely! You can choose up to two songs that are not from the repertoire list.
