Yup, it was amazing. You'll have to go next year! happy.gif Where are you from because there are lots of harp courses and festivals in the Uk.

Do you play pedal or lever harp?

Joanna Newsom is a folk lady who plays harp. She has quite an individual voice that takes some getting used to though, I think it's beautiful though.

Yep, Joanna Newson is superb - bizarre singing voice which somehow complements her playing perfectly. She's playing in the Alebrt Hall in September.

For th record, I also play a lever Clarsarch badly, but I have my heart set on a 47 string Camac with extended soundboard. It's so hard to be patient but both my tutor and my partner have asked me to wait six months before I move up. My tutor as she wants me to get to a certainly level first, and my partner because she doesn't want me to blow all my savings until she is 100% sure I won't be wasting it... *sigh* glare.gif

Never heard of her, so I went to see the clip...
LOVELY music!
As for the voice, I don't know why but she reminds me of Bjork smile.gif

There are some u-tube clips of harp on a thread in the strings forum, (I put a couple of my own there too)

Yep, they're lovely - I wouldn't have enough confidence to put my playing on there blush.gif tongue.gif


Joanna Newson's harp playing is beautiful, her voice is not my taste though.
