About this Act
Based in Perthshire, Mary has been playing clarsach for over 20 years. Mary is happy to travel and is available to play for functions all over Scotland. She has wide experience of playing for many occasions including wedding ceremonies, receptions, civil partnerships, anniversaries, birthdays and corporate events.
Mary began playing the clarsach age 9, taught by Isobel Meiras in Edinburgh. For many years, she played as part of a harp ensemble and was delighted to win the Silver Medal in the National Mod as part of a harp duo. Mary plays a Pilgrim clarsach, a very portable 34 string harp with a lovely rich tone. Mary's repertoire is wide and varied, including traditional Scottish melodies, well-known classics and covers of popular favourites. She is happy to tailor her repertoire to suit her client's individual taste and requirements. Recent special requests include the Star Wars theme, an instrumental cover of a Robbie William's song and musical accompaniment to the singing of wedding hymns.
