We had a fabulous time at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival this year - lovely to see so many friends and colleagues. A highlight was the great comments about the Wyvis lever harp from the harp tasting session. 🎵 🎶

The harps are very excited! I'll be playing the album LIVE at Celtic Connections on 31st January in the Tron Theatre with guests Allan MacDonald, Alison Kinnaird, Cathal McConnell & Kathryn Nicoll.

Listening to Karen playing one of our bray harps on bbc radio 3 while making a bray harp! The whole show is good but if you just want to hear those buzzing brays then skip to 1 hour and 23 mins.
