Kent Wedding Harpist
Claire Houston
Profile

Since obtaining my music degree I have performed and
taught the harp, piano and flute. This photo shows me (centre) and my harp pupils at the Lenham Festival 2014.
I have a wide experience of playing for weddings and receptions at a variety of venues. I have also played for ceremonies in many churches and played at private functions.
My repertoire covers wedding classics, popular songs/show tunes, folk and traditional music. I play both the concert and celtic harp and both harps produce a beautiful sound.
Concert harp –
Very rich, golden sounds on the lower registers
and enchanting, magical tone on the higher notes.
Celtic harp (clarsach) -
Amazingly bright strong tone - often chosen by wedding couples.
The sound of either harps carries extremely well. However for playing during the wedding meal I will need amplification if there are over 80 guests.
I am always happy to meet and chat over your music choices for no extra fee.
