Lynnette Jones - Harpist

Originally from Ireland, this harpist graduated with a Bachelor of Music Degree from Edinburgh University in 1984. Thereafter she trained and worked as a music teacher in a secondary school. Her love of the harp began in 1989 when she was given a small Celtic harp as a gift, and was requested to play at a family wedding.

This was the start of a long and close association with this beautiful instrument, and it wasn’t long before she received regular requests to perform at weddings and functions. Eventually she decided to stop teaching to pursue a career playing the harp.

Having now achieved a Performers’ Diploma on the harp and a Masters Degree at Bangor University, specialising jointly in the study of Music of the Celtic Countries and in Performance on the Harp, this harpist has now established a busy and successful career as a freelance harpist in North West England and North Wales. She offers a wide repertoire of music in many different styles ranging from Classical, Celtic, Modern and Bollywood, on both the large concert harp and smaller Celtic harp, tailored to create the perfect ambience for the particular special event.

Deborah,

“She was the harpist for our Wedding day and we couldn't have found anyone better! From the first day I contacted her with queries, the communication was great. She always got back to me the very same day. I asked if she could play a specific song that's special for me and my husband which was not in her repertoire and she was more than happy to do so which was lovely! She arrived early with her husband as he was our photographer and she set up in good time before the guests arrived. She played the harp beautifully and after the ceremony I got to meet her in person for the first time. She was absolutely lovely and I'm glad she was a part of our big day. I would also like to mention her husband Richard who was our photographer for the day. He also did an amazing job! He was very professional but also made the experience very fun! The photos we've received are perfect. We would highly recommend both of them for any event. Thank you. ”
