Important Note: I play folk, rather than concert harp. This means that although I read music, my harps have levers,
not the pedals which allow 'concert' harpists to play 'accidentals' or switch keys on demand. Some music just isn't
suitable for folk harps!
I play solo or with small groups. "The harp is prominent in Welsh, Breton, Irish, Scottish and other Celtic cultures
within traditional or folk music and as a social and political symbol." (see the Wikipedia entry here)
