I will need a space of about 2.5m squared to perform and a parking space for my car. No other technical requirements :)

I bring my own battery operated amplifier when needed so I can always be heard. Because it doesn’t require mains power I am able to use it outside or in locations that don’t have access to a power socket, so I am completely self-contained.

Any useful directions to help me find the venue, as well as relevant details about loading in and out with a car. If parts of the venue aren't wheelchair accessible (ie. flights of stairs, no lift), please let me know.

I am happy to use a Spotify playlist of harp music while I am taking breaks, please let me know if this is something you would be interested in.

The harp is quite mobile as it travels on a pushable trolley. Moving between rooms during the course of the day shouldn’t be a problem, however I will seek help for moving up and down flights of stairs as I can’t lift the harp on my own. If your reception or wedding breakfast is at a different venue to the ceremony please let me know. I may charge additional travel expenses, but so long as they are both reasonably accessible venues and I am given time to travel and set up there shouldn’t be a problem.

My most memorable gig was definitely on the slopes of the Acropolis in Athens in an open-air venue called the Odeon of Herodes Atticus performing with the iconic Manchester rock band James. A truly unforgettable experience, although we were all battling the heat at the time!

My longtime teacher Eira Lynn Jones definitely needs a mention, but in terms of the music I listen to: I'm always amazed by the understated mastery of musicians like Gillian Welch. As a harpist, I have a real appreciation for artists who can cut incredibly deeply with their music, even though its on the quieter side.

I have been playing since I was nine and began performing professionally when I was fifteen. I can honestly say I've never wanted to do anything else, and I feel my unwavering devotion to the instrument comes through in my playing. I'm very lucky to do what I love.

I love performing at all kinds of events but I think weddings are my favourite. It's such an honour to be a part of such a special moment in a person's life and I'm always so grateful to be a part of it.

I normally try to arrive around an hour before I'm due to begin playing. When I'm playing, I take a 10 minute break every hour to protect myself from strain. I can play for up to three hours with breaks before needing a longer break across the day.

Yes, however this is weather permitting and depends on certain factors. The harp will need to be placed on a hard, flat surface to make sure it won’t be accidentally knocked over, and it cannot be placed on bare grass due to water retained in the ground. Patio flooring or decking would be perfect. I unfortunately can’t play outdoors if there’s risk of rain or if it is very windy due to the risk of the harp getting damaged. Please bear this in mind if you choose to book me for an outdoor celebration, and feel free to get in touch with any additional questions you may have.

I absolutely encourage picking pieces from my song list. I’m a firm believer in making your wedding as special and meaningful for you and your partner as possible so I’m happy to take your lead on song selection, but if you would like my own song recommendations I am always happy to advise. I am also able to arrange specific requests from you. I'm eager to make my service as personalised as possible, so I encourage you to let me know if there's a particular song missing from my song list that you would like to hear.

Previous testimonials have mentioned the soulful, relaxing ambience of the harp. As well as this, I am regularly complimented on the freedom of song choice on a more unusual instrument, including songs from rock, jazz, and pop genres.

For the wedding ceremony, typically I will need one song choice for the bridal entrance, up to three songs for the signing of the wedding register, and one song as an exit for the married couple. I’m a firm believer in making your wedding as special and meaningful for you and your partner as possible so I’m happy to take your lead on song requests, but if you would like my own recommendations as to which songs work well in each context I am always happy to advise. For drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts I play background music throughout the celebration, and I’m very happy to have specific requests made for this if there are particular songs that interest you.
