About

A wedding and event harpist. I have over 15 years experience, and I specialise in playing harp versions of modern pop, rock and soul covers.

My sets are like a DJ set on the harp and include arrangements of everything from Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and The Beatles to Daft Punk, Kings Of Leon and Adele.

Live credits range from St James Palace and The Dorchester, to Glastonbury and Latitude festivals.

So friendly and professional. He learnt to play the tune that I wanted to my walk down the aisle for my wedding.

He sent me videos so that I could practice walking to the song. He really cared about my day and did everything to make it special. On the actual day, he came early and set up and played beautiful music for my guests. My guests could not stop talking about him. He was so friendly and asking him to play at my wedding was the best decision I made when planning my wedding.

My 9 year old daughter said that he was very kind to her and that he congratulated her when she read her poem. This shows how kind and lovely he is.

He was very much an important part of my wedding and went out of his way to speak to guests and welcome them.

He was super friendly, professional and so very talented. He took the time to learn our song requests and played so beautifully.

All in all, he played a huge part in making our wedding day perfect.

Would 100% recommend!

We used his harp services for our wedding in March. Was absolutely fantastic.

The booking process was so easy. He made sure all our requests were played and having the harp made our ceremony so special.

Thanks so much!

Fantastic. Learnt a new song for us for when Claire walked down the aisle. Beautiful.

The music and melody was absolutely great for the ambience and really well appreciated by the guests and ourselves as he played during our meal afterwards.

Lovely guy and totally reliable. Massively recommended, faultless.

We had the pleasure of his playing at our event recently and cannot recommend him highly enough.

He played beautifully – he has an extensive list of pieces he can play and is happy to learn songs that are requested.

The harp added a real touch of elegance to the venue and he was also really great to deal with – always responsive and helpful.

Having never booked for live music before, I was not quite sure how it was going to pan out, but the musician played the songs as requested, he was fantastic and worth every penny. Thank you so much for making it so easy to find such a superb musician.
