Review Centre: Harpists

"The first of these is local all-round musician Wendy Jane, who can usually be seen performing in local supergroup Moonbeams with Conrad Barr and Paul Tucker (who can be seen at this very venue in April). Also she performs her own original material on a variety of instruments including flute, harp, guitar and tonight her weapon of mass entertainment is the grand piano. Wendy starts by explaining that she painfully split up from a 20-year marriage, she put all of the emotion and heartache into an album called A Song For Ever Lover. The recently dank weather has not been kind to Wendy as her voice is suffering, with her barely being able to talk. However; when she starts to sing, somehow there is some real power in her voice. The first number called “Love On A Wire” shows an emotional delivery as well as some really skilful piano work. As the audience sits back relaxing, this musician delivers a host of delightful tunes including “Sticks & Stones” about a former homeless graffiti artist and a track called “Oblivion” written in the style of a James Bond theme. Two vocalists; Wendy’s daughter Isabelle Glover and her friend Freya Morrow take to the stage to add some lovely harmonization to a few tunes, including a powerful number called “Phenomenal Woman”. The whole set shows what a great depth and honest singer/writer Wendy is and despite a voice lurgy, delivers an engaging 40 minutes full of highlights."

"Thankyou so very much - you made our day extra special with your beautiful playing at the christening. So many of our guests have sent such lovely comments, one couple thought we had booked a Harpist especially because she is Harper! I said but of course! Many many thanks and such a pleasure to meet you."

"I am so glad I chose Eleanor to play at my wedding! She arrived in plenty of time, there was no stress, she was very professional and friendly. She really went above and beyond, moving her harp inside and out a few times for us with no fuss. She has a very long repertoire with all different genres to suit any event. Overall she was brilliant and her music was beautiful. Thank you again Eleanor."

"Morning Caroline, I hope you are well, Me and Lauren would just like to thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You really added to the atmosphere and made our day even more special. Everyone who attended the day has said how amazing you were. Sorry we didn't get to thank you in person on the day. As I'm sure you know we were getting pulled around left right and centre. We have a few photos of yourself playing that we would like to share with you and we are still awaiting our video which we will be happy to share. I will send thes photos over to you tonight. Again we can't thank you enough for your involvement. We really appreciate it. Jordan & Lauren"

"Zoe is an accomplished musician and very professional. I had a Christmas Wedding and the harp looked beautiful at the front of the church with all the wreaths and garlands. Zoe played while the guests arrived and the soothing harp music set a wonderful festive ambience. Lots of guests commented on how much they enjoyed hearing the harp. "

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Fionnuala play at our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first interaction, she showed the utmost professionalism and warmth, inviting us to her home to get an idea of her repertoire and sharing links with us of her recordings. Her communication was excellent which gave us complete confidence in the lead-up to the wedding. We had a mix of traditional harp pieces, modern songs for the reception, as well as our church hymns which needed some backing music, and she not only accommodated them all but arranged them beautifully for the harp. On the day itself, Fionnuala arrived early, was impeccably presented, and created such a magical atmosphere for our ceremony and drinks reception. Her musicianship is truly exceptional. She is a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely musician, and we are so grateful she was part of our day. "
