Scottish Harp or ClarsachIf you're looking for a wedding harpist, why not give your wedding service and reception an authentic Scottish flavour with traditional music on the Clarsach (Scottish Harp)?The Scottish harp, or clarsach in Gaelic, is the ideal instrument for a wedding ceremony held in a stately home or castle. The harper (we use the term harpist these days) would always be present at courtly and formal occasions. The clarsach is equally at home in a hotel suite for the smaller more intimate wedding, or with a little amplification as an alternative to the organ in church. Robert will lead the singing and sing solo if required - he has a repertoire of suitable songs. Click on the links to the right to hear samples of his Scottish harp playing. If you have any problems downloading or listening to the mp3 files please send an email to request a CD. The harp is well suited to background music too - its particular acoustic properties give it the ability to be heard without being intrusive. To continue the Scottish ambience through into the reception, listen to its gentle harmonies while you and your guests enjoy your meal. Harp music on the small harp or clarsach has been heard in Scotland for many centuries. Robert is an experienced Scottish harpist and is regularly in demand to play his harp for weddings, christenings and other events. If you would like to book Robert to play the Scottish harp at your wedding, christening or other event, or would just like to discuss it, please phone him on (01383) 732205 or contact Robert by email.
