Booked for Birthday party

Rhianwen was wonderful. She arrived in good time, was very approachable and cheery, played an excellent variety of pieces, was very good at explaining the workings of her harp and fielded all our questions very amiably. I would highly recommend her.

Booked for Birthday party

Is 5 the top mark? Then Ed was a 5. Punctual, kind and with charm and charisma. He played outside for my mother's 93rd and a small crowd gathered, it was a hot summer evening and he made the atmosphere so happy and upbeat with his skilled playing and interpersonal skills. Also very reasonable in price. He took the time to speak personally to my mother and ask her to choose a tune to play. Can't recommend Ed highly enough.

Booked for Birthday party

Julia came to play at my fathers 80th Party last night as a surprise and he as well as all the other guests had great fun dancing along to the sound of the pipes. Great evening. Would definitely recommend Julia!!

ROGER CHICK6 Apr 2018

Booked for Anniversary

"Jemima added the special touch to our 50th Anniversary celebrations. All of our family and friends were amazed at her performance. Comments like 'I did not know a harp sounded like that and I didn't know you could play that on a harp' came from all generations. A superb artist who we would have no hesitation in recommending to all age groups - the sound is amazing."

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
