Kirsty North - Scottish Harpist
Brought up in the Highlands of Scotland I have been playing the clàrsach (traditional Scottish harp) for over 25 years and have many years of experience playing as a solo performer at weddings, dinners and other functions across the Highlands, Shetland and Aberdeenshire.
I love playing at weddings as it's such an honour to be a part of a couple's special day and to help to make it that wee bit more personal. I also enjoy playing at regular pub sessions in Aviemore!
I am currently the Secretary of the Highland Branch of the Clarsach Society, promoting this wonderful instrument and helping to organise workshops and events across the Highlands.
My Clàrsach
I play a 34 string Ulysse by Camac Harps. This gorgeous instrument is constructed from a mixture of carbon fibre and wood, giving a beautiful, resonant sound while also being light and easily transportable.
It doesn't require any amplification for most venues when played as a solo instrument. However, it can also be used with a small amp if required for larger or outdoor venues.
