Harpist - Eleanor
Covering; Cheshire, Derbyshire,
Merseyside, Lancashire & Manchester

Eleanor was born in Buxton, Derbyshire and first saw the harp at the age of six on television in a Marks Brothers film. After another six years of persistence she finally managed to persuade her parents into investing in an instrument and since then has never looked back. Eleanor studied first with Mair Jones and then went on to Chethams School of Music to study with Jean Bell from the Halle Orchestra with whom she continued at the Royal Northern College of Music. During her time there she gained a degree in music and was awarded the Guinness Scholarship for the Harp. It was there that she became interested in contemporary and chamber music for the harp and started to arrange for the instrument herself.
Eleanor then went on to gain an ARCM in London, and has since acted as Principal Harpist with most orchestras in Britain including all the BBC Orchestras, The Halle Orchestra ad the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Eleanor has also played for the London Pops Orchestra and has done sessions for television and radio and has worked with Tony Bennett and the Moody Blues.
