Review Centre: Harpists

"We would like to thank you for being part of our wedding day! You helped make our day very special the music you played created a beautiful atmosphere and made our wedding ceremony personal. Our wedding guests really enjoyed listening to you play the harp. You were also very accommodating as you played request and played some nursery rhymes for our niece who sung along whilst you were playing. This was very kind of you and was a beautiful moment! You listened to our wishes and went out of your way to learn our favourite song the power of love which meant a lot to us. We would highly recommend you! You are very talented!"

"In October last year, I had the pleasure of attending the concert presented by Alice and her colleague at St.James Church, Gatley. The sizeable audience showed their appreciation of the excellent performance which was notable for the varied repertoire, both classical and modern and even some impressive Jazz pieces, a style I had not previously associated with the Harp and which made a lasting impression. This young lady obviously has a very promising career ahead of her."

"Gary and I would like to thank you for your exquisite performance at our wedding (Cameron House, 17th June). Indeed, during the day, we received lots of compliments about your playing, from our guests. Some even asked how we’d found you, whilst others commented on how refreshing it was to have harp music at our wedding! I hope you realise how much we enjoyed it even though we didn’t hear as much as everyone else. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the time you spent going through music with my parents and I. I’m sure you know that our knowledge of harp music is somewhat limited, and the time you spent with us was a great help in helping us decide the type of music I wanted played. Your professionalism and competence (not to mention friendliness) shone through and more than allayed my fears. I was pleased that you were to play at our special day!"

"Christine - we thoroughly enjoyed having you at our wedding and the music was just divine. Thankyou very much for being so accommodating with our requests and we truly adored the special arrangements you did for us. The music created the perfect atmosphere for the occasion and still allowed us to chat to our guests. Just perfection! And I spotted Canon in D amongst all the celebrations ❤️"

"We hired Ruth for our wedding at the end of September. She was everything we could ever wanted and more. She was always friendly, attentive and communicated very clearly and when needed throughout the planning process. Ruth’s repertoire of music is vast, and we were able to find and suggest songs to fit every moment that was needed. The result? Ruth was instrumental (pardon the pun) to making our day a success. Ruth is an expert in her craft and through her expertise helped bring a level of ambience that made the day unique. If I ever needed a musician again for an event I would hire Ruth in a heartbeat, and if you are reading this review would suggest you do the same."

"Thank you very much for your beautiful music. Your rendition of 'Here comes the bride' was spot on! Thanks also for bearing with me, I'm not sure if you remember but I was actually 45 minutes late due to 1 of my bridal cars breaking down, so I'm guessing you may have played for a little longer than we originally planned. It was greatly appreciated."

"Angeliana helped our 50 Wedding Anniversary to be such a success. She arrived and quietly set up her harp without any fuss and likewise did the same at the end of her performance. The music was lovely and was very much appreciated by all of our guests. I can thoroughly recommend her and would have no hesitation in having her play for me in the future. Well done Angelina."

"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."
