Being an Ayrshire lass I couldn't let this one go unmarked and it's a great theme for a harp hang! Doors open at 6.45 - so you can settle into the Zoom room and say hello and I'll start about 7pm. This is an intimate and informal solo livestream gig with all three harps (gut and wire-strung clarsachs and bray harp) and some poems too for this occasion.

After the success of the Halloween Harpy Hang, I'm hosting another one on Zoom on Sunday 20th December at 7pm. The 'Solstice Eve, A Yule Harp Hang' will feature my Yule harp of course, along with my other ones in a 30-40 minute solo gig from myself. Then we can have an informal chat, tunes and Q&A session. There will be sheet music to download in advance for a couple of tunes that you can play along with (on mute sadly of course) and if you have a party piece you want to share let me know in advance and we can get it scheduled in. It's not just for harp players of course - listeners, friends, singers and other instruments are welcome too!

The evening is free for all my Patreon supporters at all levels (starting at £2) or £5 for anyone else. You can pay via PayPal and I'll send you the Zoom details. Christmas jumpers, tinsel and Santa hats are of course optional!
