Clare began learning the piano and violin aged seven, taking up the concert harp a few years later. After studying with the Royal Northern College of Music principal harp tutor she continued her harp studies at Aberystwyth University. Returning to her native Cumbria, she performed with various orchestras and as part of a flute and harp duo as well as teaching at various schools. Over this time Clare moved to specialising on the Celtic Harp and now plays a Bohemian Troubadour Harp which is an approx 3 ft high replica of a 17th century instrument known for its full sweet tone. Over the last 15 years Clare has been a regular at many of the leading hotels in the Lake District and the Northwest. She has entertained at a wide range of events from weddings to corporate dinners, small family parties to Medieval evenings. Clare plays a wide variety of music from classical to pop, folk to medieval, jazz to Jewish, even playing Disney favourites at a wedding.

The harp is the perfect musical accompaniment for weddings, Romantic and intimate, it can give that extra sparkle to your special day.
 
Every effort will be made by Clare to accommodate any special requests for pieces as long as reasonable notice is given.  She is happy to play outside and to play in marquees as long as there is a level floor and power supply available.
