Thanks so much for your music at our wedding. Everyone commented throughout the reception, it was beautiful.
From the first time I heard this wonderful harpost play, some years ago as a young student and competitor at various festivals, I was struck by the individuality and precision of her playing. Nowhere is her unique style, creativity and musicality better showcased than in her own composition ‘B’fhéidir go bhfuil, b’fhéidir go won’t’. Whether playing solo or with other instruments, the clarity of her harp playing is always evident. Illustrating the range of music being played on the harp in Ireland today, this recording is essential listening for anyone with an interest in modern Irish harping.
