Filkins Festival

On a hot July day in the beautiful setting of the grounds of Morley Harps Workshop, Harpz gave a concert with the virtuoso harpist David Watkins.

Harpz entertained the audience for the first half of the concert with pieces such as English Country Garden, Raggle Taggle Gypsies and Pachelbel's Canon, after which David gave a fantastic recital including Glinka's Nocturne as well as his very own compositions, Nocturne and Fire Dance from "Petite Suite".

Results of Leamington Spa Competitive Festival

A group of six harpists (Helen, Hilary, Janet, Lauran, Ruth and Christina) competed in the Leamington Spa Competitive Festival on Sunday 9th July. They played two pieces: Migildi Magildi and Nos Da Nawr.

Although they didn't win, the adjudicator, Caryl Thomas, described the Harpz as "very exciting" and and found it "a very enjoyable performance." Well done!
