Rachel Hair’s Manx Harpers

02 Jul 2012

A selection of Rachel Hair’s young harp students will showcase their talents at this year’s Yn Chruinnaght festival in a free concert at St German’s Cathedral on Thursday 19 July. On the bill alongside Welsh singers Caryl Parry Jones and Christian Phillips, local harpers Mera Royle, Emily Bridson, Rebecca Pearson, Amy Stoutt, Rachel Pooley and Morven Brown will perform solo, duo and group arrangements of Manx music. Funded and organised by the Manx Heritage Foundation, 14 primary and secondary age students currently receive harp lessons each month from leading Scottish harpist Rachel Hair. Rachel has been commissioned to produce a new book of Manx harp arrangements which will be released by MHF next year. School-age students who wish to be added to the waiting list for harp lessons should contact Chloë Woolley for more details
