I am a harpist based in the beautiful Forest of Dean. I play the welsh lever harp. I specialise in traditional folk harp music and can sing in Welsh. I perform at weddings and functions and have learned tunes requested In advance by couples. I enjoy arranging covers for the harp such as David Bowie and Kate Bush. I offer a selection of packages which can include any parts of your special day. Recent venues played at are Pencoed House Estate(Cardiff), Celtic Manor(Newport) and Llechwen Hall(Pontypridd).

I simply can’t fault Anna, and her performance at our wedding was perfect. She is a talented musician and a genuinely friendly person too. I was blown away by her performance on the day. She plays beautifully and I wouldn't have wanted things any other way. She has a really wide repertoire and she even asked us if there were any additional pieces we would like her to learn. Our guests commented on how lovely it was to have a harpist, and how fun the mix of her music was. She played a lovely range for us (at our request) including wedding classics, welsh folk, and a huge range of fun modern pop too. If you’re sat on the fence about having a harpist for your event, just go for it and book Anna - you will not regret it.
Beautiful playing, learned some songs for us and was responsive to some last minute changes in the order. Very helpful and friendly
