Car parking.
Accessible route to location(as few steps as possible).
Due to the valuable and fragile nature of the harp, playing outside without adequate shelter is not possible.
There is no extra sound or lighting equipment required. It's just me and my harp.
It's always good to know the parking situation in advance, for unloading the harp. Also, are there lots of stairs that I will need to go up or down with the harp?
This is not normally something I provide as I only take ten minute breaks between sets during background music.
When the then Prince Charles turned 60, part of his birthday celebrations included a concert at Covent Garden. He had sixty harpists perform all around the balcony and I was one of them. It was a brilliant day.
Around 30 minutes set-up time. Sets are 30 minutes, with ten minute breaks in between.
In order to play outside there needs to be adequate shelter for the harp, and a flat, level surface. The harp is a very valuable instrument and British weather can be very unpredictable!
I'm happy to discuss music choices. I have a music list that I can send. I'm also happy to learn a song especially for you if you have a specific request that isn't on my list.
Previous clients describe the harp as an elegant addition to a wedding. The volume of the harp is enough that it can be heard, without being so loud it interferes with conversation.
Yes. Often when I'm playing for both the Ceremony and Drinks Reception, I will need to move the harp to a new setting at the venue. This isn't a problem, although if there are a lot of stairs I may require someone to help me with the harp. A member of staff is usually happy to assist.
I can move the harp from one venue to another, for example if you are having a church wedding followed by a hotel reception. I will just need to add the extra travel expenses onto the fee.
