Full Biography

Highlights
* Professional, enthusiastic, approchable and friendly harpist
* Wealth of experience performing throughout the UK and abroad
* Extensive repertoire including classics jazz & modern material
* Happy to learn pieces/take musical requests for clients

By the time she was 15, Fiona had gained Grade 8 Harp. Having also learnt the piano, violin, as well as singing lessons, it was her love of the Harp, which encouraged her to continue studying it via private tuition after this period.

Gaining extensive experience performing throughout the UK and abroad for over 20 years, Fiona has not only developed her own style of musical interpretation with pieces, but she mainly procures her own contracts and through these, she has built up a network of contacts throughout the industry. These contracts have included residencies, as well as performing for well-known venues and companies in the UK and abroad, including cruise ships and 5* Hotels and several high-profile clienteles.

Fiona’s love of art is parallel to her music and having obtained an LRSM in Harp Performance she also has a BA(Hons) in Textile Design from Brunel University.

Well known for having a strong sense of humour and an energetic personality to match, Fiona enjoys putting the aspects of her well-travelled experiences into her vast repertoire, which ranges from Harp, Classical, Film, Folk, Contemporary through to Jazz and she enjoys the wide variety of pieces that may be asked of her.

Now based in East Sussex, Fiona enjoys performing as a Soloist, but she also enjoys collaborating alongside other musicians whilst keeping a busy diary.

Fiona is a very approachable friendly versatile musician and she will enlighten and compliment any occasion with her harp.
