A very Happy Christmas to you all!

Well, what a year! It’s been full of lots of wonderful weddings and functions. Thank you to those of you who have started followed my little Blog, I hope that it has given you a little insight into the world of being a professional musician, or helped you to have some ideas for your weddings or events.

Back in September, on a warm Thursday afternoon, I lit a fire and put on a Christmas jumper and filmed a few Christmassy numbers. I must admit, I didn’t feel at all festive at the time, however they seem a little more appropriate now that we are here in the midst of the annual madness! Here’s a little sample…

I hope that you enjoyed that and that you all have a wonderful Christmas. Keep in touch and I look forward to continuing to update you all about my world in 2018!

Love and best wishes,

Nicola xxx

#harpril Day 19 What I’m most proud of... Always difficult, when you work hard to don’t often give yourself the chance to stop and think about what you’re doing with your life. But I think I’m most proud of just being able to do what I do - make a living out of music. It’s a tough world, the arts, but I’m managing to spend my time sharing music with others - either teaching or playing - and hopefully making their lives just a smidge happier for it. This picture was taken at yesterday’s wedding @wotton_house_hotel - love the spring blossom arches and the fairy lights! 🎼 #harp #harpist #lifeofaharpist #wedding #spring wedding #Surrey #surreywedding #weddingmusic #weddingentertainment
#harpril Day 18 (I’m so far behind!!) Packing Hack There is no easy way to transport a harp. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been asked ‘Does it fold up?’ to which the answer is sadly, no. As a result, keeping everything else organised makes moving easier. I have a pilots’ case which fits my music, stand, strings, bottle of water, hairbrush, kindle... (all the essentials of being a harpist!!) which sits behind me when a play, attempting to keep me organised! #harp #harpist #lyonandhealyharps #lifeofaharpist
