Anthony hired Glain Dafydd for a Wedding (available in Slough)
"Nia-May is an extremely talented musician and played both the viola and the harp for our September 2026 wedding. The music was exquisitely rendered and she also accommodated some pop music requests which she played beautifully. We would recommend her highly for wedding playlists and her physical presentation was immaculate as well given that she was on show playing next to the bride and groom. I would highly recommend her for any event outdoor or indoor as she is extremely capable."
