 Liath comes from a
background in traditional music and began performing
professionally in 1992. She is in great demand as a
harpist and is becoming known for her fresh approach to
the traditional repertoire. Last year saw her play as
far afield as Perthshire and Hampshire, along with
the many and varied engagements which took place closer
to home in the East Midlands.
Over the years, her music
has been the accompaniment to many weddings, parties,
restaurant appearances and corporate functions. Liath also
takes part in traditional and folk music events around the
country.
She plays a Pilgrim
Progress lever harp, a beautiful and elegant instrument
based upon Medieval Welsh harps. The Progress is larger
than most lever harps, which lends it great versatility
and wonderful resonant bass notes.
Liath works from within
the musical traditions of Britain and and Ireland, playing
the music which has accompanied social events for many
hundreds of years. Her extensive repertoire also includes
classical and early music and she is always willing to
learn pieces specific to requirements, given adequate
notice.
