EVENTS HARPIST: Sound clips & Song List
Here is a short youtube film showing extracts of some of the tunes I am most often asked to play. Below that is my song list. If your favourite tune is not listed, do check with me, as I may well already play it. And even if not, I am often able to learn new music for clients.
Song List
* = pedal harp only (i.e. I don’t currently have a version of this tune that works for clarsach)
+ = hymn or song that could be deemed religious. This is important to know for civil or humanist ceremonies. Different celebrants interpret the rules on religious music in different ways. Some celebrants will not allow any religious music at all. Others are happy with it, so long as it is purely instrumental with no singing. Always check with your particular celebrant.
