On December 10, 2022, the St Paul’s Cathedral Choristers will give their annual performance of Benjamin Britten’s ‘Ceremony of Carols’, during a beautiful brief service with lots of music, that is free for all to attend. I have been asked to play with them once again and look forward to performing the landmark piece for children’s voices and harp in these stunning acoustics.

This is a wonderful opportunity to take in the atmosphere of this impressive cathedral, and experience a moment of reflection too. The event is free and unticketed.

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!

On December 18, 2022, I will be playing a Christmas concert with a wonderful little group of musical friends in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. With four vocalists, piano, violin and harp, we will perform Christmas repertoire and classical selections. With a good portion of swing and love we welcome you to our musical happy place for a while.
Stay tuned for tickets to go on sale soon.
