About / Biography

Mary is available to play Clarsach (Scottish Harp) at events throughout Scotland, including Weddings, Dinners and Corporate events.

Mary plays traditional Scottish music as well as popular favourites suitable for Weddings and other special occasions.

Having the clarsach as live entertainment at a drinks reception or dinner will help create a lovely atmosphere. The harp will provide non-intrusive background music while your guests enjoy their drinks or meal and will mark the occasion by adding that extra finishing touch.

Special requests can usually be played, given enough time, so for weddings and other special events please don't hesitate to ask!
