I was delighted to meet Penny today from Pilgrim Harps at the International Harp Festival.

You’ve got to be a bit careful when you announce to people:

“I need a new G string…”

but fortunately I was with the right people, who knew the context!

Auld Lang Syne, but the original tune chosen by Burns, not the one most of us are used to...

Occasionally I receive royalty notifications for my harp book. Today I noticed another 5 star review on Amazon. I haven't marketed the book much as, since my daughter died, I haven't felt able to play, but it's lovely to have received another good review #clarsach

Scotland may lose at football, but we can console ourselves with traditional music!

We're getting close to Valentines Day.

This tune is a traditional Scottish one, best known for the lyrics written by Robert Burns. It's a love song, for an older couple.

Check out the lyrics!

My Love is Like a Red Red Rose…

My next visit to play at the hospital is on Valentines Day, so I think I’ll do this one as well as posting it today for Burns celebrations tomorrow. Hope they recognise it!

Some more pics of my new Clarsach, which arrived earlier today!

It’s a “two tone Skylark”, with some personal touches by an artist called Jerry Blumire.

Rosie on the light side, and Poppy on the darker wood. I think he’s captured them beautifully!
