The Harp Gathering will take place from May 18-20, 2012 in Archbold, Ohio.

By Shawna Selline, played by Bobbie Jo Curley.  It’s been a surprisingly warm spring in our neck of the woods.  I’m tempted to take my harp out and play by the river, once things have dried out a bit.

Major props to harpist Alex Bigney for giving the pedal harp a truly Celtic voice.  Every other time I’ve heard Celtic music played on pedal harp it either sounded stilted or over-played.  This set rocks!

Legends of the Celtic Harp: Patrick Ball, Lisa Lynne, and Aryeh Frankfurter.  Freight and Salvage, Berkeley, CA.  More clips of the concert can be found @ PatrickBall1

One of the world’s great folk harp pioneers, still going strong.   And that harp is simply amazing.   If you want to hear all the truly unique sounds Alan Stivell can get a harp to make, go out and buy one of his CD’s.  You won’t regret it.
