Profile
 
Harriet is a full-time harpist, playing extensively throughout Britain and abroad. She was the 'Harper of All Britain' in both 2000 and 2002. She has given many harp recitals around the world, including concerts at the 'Irish Spirits' festival in Germany. Harriet is fast gaining a reputation both in the UK and abroad as an extremely talented and expressive harpist. Her aim is to show a new approach to harp-playing, using the Celtic harp as a strong melody instrument.

As well as performing solo and with the band, she also plays as a duo "Chord" with uilleann-piper and flute-player friend Colman, a fellow member of Siansa. 'Harriet and Chord perform a diverse repertoire of their own arrangements ranging from slow beautiful airs to foot-tapping jigs and reels mixed with selected music from their own recordings. Special requests can be arranged with prior notice. Chord is a dynamic and innovative duo. Their unusual combination of harp with uilleann pipes, flute and whistles makes for a head-turning alliance. Their music is foot-tapping and infectious, with a force and life to it. Together they take a refreshingly modern approach to the two archetypal instruments of Ireland, the harp and the uilleann pipes, developing their own sound that is fun, lively and expressive.

By adding new rhythms, harmonies and arrangements to traditional tunes (as well as composing some of their own) they aim to foster a living tradition - music that is breathing and changing but also in touch with its roots. Whether you're looking for the elegance and sensitivity of a solo harpist or the magic and charisma of Chord, you are guaranteed a musical performance that will leave a lasting impression.

A typical performance is 2 hours within 3 allowing for short breaks between sets.

"Harriet Earis is one of the most talented harpists in the U.K.."Irish SpiritHarriet is skilful in playing both lyrically and as an accompanist - she can take a tune and make it heard."
Ceri Rushent

"Harriet was a superb choice for our occassion. Her music was delightful and helped our guests to relax. Her performance made our enjoyable meal more memorable."
L Moore - wedding client

"Harriet was perfect for the ocassion. She played wonderfully and was a charming person - my dad would have loved it. What particularly stuck out with Harriet was how she clearly put her heart and soul into performing (she hadn't just turned up to play a few tunes, take the money and go). Many people came and asked me afterwards where I found such an accomplished and wonderful performer."
