Sarah
Deere-Jones LRAM LGSM
A graduate and prize winner from
the Royal Academy of Music, Sarah's extensive experience
includes performing light music programes in top London
Hotels such as the Ritz, Savoy, Grosvenor House and
Waldorf, and at corporate entertainment events in the
Royal Albert Hall, British Museum, London Palladium and the National History
Museum. She played in the middle East for Ramada Hotels
for six months and was harpist aboard the QE2 for
aproximately 8 years during which time she played in the
restaurants and bars, gave solo concerts, and even had
private pupils! She also played in West End shows, opera
and ballet orchestras, major London symphony orchestras
and appeared on radio and TV.
Sarah has been playing for weddings
for many years and has a varied repertoire for five
different types of harps to choose from! From the
historic medieval 'Gothic' harp of the
15th and 16th centuries, to the unique silvery sounding wire-strung
harp, the traditional Celtic harp
for Welsh, Irish Scottish and Cornish repertoires, the
fantastic 'new age' sound of the Electric harp,
and last but by no means least, the gorgeous sound and
sight of the full size Concert Grand,
for classical, jazz and light popular music. She plays
for ceremonies and drinks receptions for up to two hours
total duration and can arrange special music by request.
Free
personalised Harp CD!
After years of experience playing
the harp at weddings, Sarah does not recommend
harp music during meals, the harp is too quiet
and noise levels soon rise during meals with the excited
chatter of guests, the sound of cutlery and catering
staff walking about, it is not the best moment to employ
a live musician! However if you book Sarah to play
for your ceremony or drinks reception, she will
provide a complimentary personalised harp CD of herself
playing which you can use during your meal, with any
special pieces used during your ceremony included on it,
to make a really special musical souvenir of your day!
