The Yorkshire Wedding Harpist - Harpist

The Yorkshire Wedding Harpist performs on a stunning black harp with gold detailing and has a range of beautiful gowns to coordinate with your colour scheme. Her harp performance adds gravitas during a civil or partnership ceremony, gives a modern touch in church, and entertains during drinks and the wedding breakfast.

The Yorkshire Wedding Harpist has been hailed as one of most exciting new harpists from the North. Her repertoire ranges from wedding favourites like Canon in D and Robbie Williams Angels, through jazz, Indie, and traditional folk to Bollywood harp and beyond.

Since graduating in music at York University, The Yorkshire Wedding Harpist has toured the country at intimate theatres, venues and festivals. Her three albums of original music include numerous award winning songs. She performs on a stunning glossy black pedal harp at numerous top venues and high profile events: equally at home with classical, indie or world music, she has a wide popular music repertoire.
Her beautiful voice-compared to Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter- is woven into some of her harp arrangements. She has become a renowned exponent of romantic songs with the harp and was the only English harpist to join ten others from all over the World at The International Harp Festival, Sentmenat, near Barcelona in June 2010.

The Yorkshire Wedding Harpist has performed for the Annual Pride Ball and supported The Opera Babes at Birmingham ICC. She has performed solo harp in the background, and a more upfront set with popular harp and vocal pieces.

Vicky Bavin, Healing Manor, Wedding (March, 2016)

“We were privileged to have this harpist as our guest vocalist at the switch on event of Christmas Lights along Princes Avenue Hull, last November. She performed a number of seasonal melodies, and played the Celtic Harp beautifully. With two Albums already to her credit, she is a very talented lady.To say she has a beautiful voice is an understatement, we wish her every success for the future ”

Stephen,

“She sang and played the harp and tin whistle for a family occasion several years ago. It was perfect, not a dry eye in the place! When another family occasion arose more recently, I managed to track her down again. The atmosphere was electric and was talked about for a long time afterwards! She even wrote and performed a special song for our mother. She has an incredible singing voice that lends itself to different musical genres. She deserves to go far and have a serious recording contract! She has a great personality and I regard her as more than a talented artist. She is also a friend. Thank you so much for making two very memorable occasions so very special. ”

May I take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the future. ”
