Repertoire and booking details...
My repertoire is unique and varied so there is usually something to please ears of all tastes and ages. I sing well-known cover songs by artists such as Eva Cassidy, Adele, The Beatles, Jack Johnson, Lana Del Ray and The Killers, all arranged by myself for the harp. I also play more traditional harp music - instrumental classical, Celtic and contemporary pieces, including favourites such as 'Pachelbel's Canon', 'Clair de Lune' and 'Greensleeves'. Please see below for my full repertoire and just click on any of the underlined tracks in bold to have a listen.
Given at least one month's notice I will be happy to learn a special request for you. At weddings the bride and groom often like to have a harp version of "their song" played when they walk down the aisle or when the register is being signed, or if you are arranging a party for someone perhaps you know of a favourite song or artist they would really enjoy hearing. Not all songs work on my type of harp but send me your ideas and I will give them a try and let you know.
I prefer to play in Amsterdam and the surrounding areas as then I don't have to charge you too much for my travel, but I will always consider further afield bookings!
