On January 12, 2023, at 6pm, I have the honour of playing with the Choir of The Guards’ Chapel. The concert features several pieces for choir & organ, a harp solo (movements from the Lute Suite in E minor BWV996 by J.S. Bach), and Benjamin Britten’s ‘Ceremony of Carols’ for high voices & harp.

Location: The Guards’ Chapel, Birdcage Walk, Westminster. Free entry (with retiring collection). Info and tickets: Choir of the Guards’ Chapel facebook page / Eventbrite ticket link for reservations

Following on from my blues harp presentation at the World Harp Congress in July, I was invited to teach and perform at the Dutch Harp Society’s ‘Open Harp Day’ on the 30th of October. A truly delightful group of harpers joined me in a game of Barrelhouse, Shuffle, Yancey, Two Feel and other blues patterns, playing our way through the land of key signatures with a dice deciding our fate. I had a blast, and am even more motivated to finalise my books of blues harp originals, and especially my blues harp method soon!
