The Cherished Harp
In 2013, I greatly enjoyed recording, creating and releasing a brand new CD called “The Cherished Harp”. After many years of special song requests from couples as music for their weddings I have gathered together a collection of my favorite requests and created my own arrangements reflecting influences arising out my musical journey with the harp so far.
The CDs are available in my online shop.
The Three Strands
Throughout generations tales have been told of three musical strands. The details differ in each story, but they’re always played by a harpist, and they always encompass the human experience. Harpist Shelley Fairplay musically entwines The Three Strands: Passion, Sorrow and Joy through a diverse range of styles from the traditional to the present day on this CD.
The CDs are available in my online shop.
