Music is one of the most wonderful ways of bringing people together, and can be a truly transformative experience for both receiver and giver.
As a singer, Celtic harpist, storyteller, drummer and dancer, it is my intention to reach as many people as I can, and hopefully act as a catalyst and inspirer wherever I go and in everything I do, using the skills I was given to share.
I am often asked to play at weddings, christenings and funerals, and perform regularly at The Scottish Crannog Centre, Loch Tay, and at celebrations where harp and voice can help the ambience. I also enjoy telling tales and spinning yarns — click here for more about my storytelling.
Please see my Notice Board below for details of upcoming tours, concerts, workshops and therapeutic sessions.
If you are interested in my work as a performer, music therapist or voice workshop leader, please contact me at my email address:
