Harpist
Fiona Hosford

A gifted and experienced harpist,
Fiona is based in the South East
of England but her work takes her
throughout the UK and abroad.

She performs at a huge range of
functions - weddings, corporate
events, car launches and other
social and private events have all
been entertained by Fiona and her
Harp.
Specialising in "playing outside
the Harpbox of tunes" - Fiona is
well known for putting the extra
effort into making sure that a client's taste in music is adhered to.
Her repertoire is vast and ranges
from recognisable Classical pieces
(ie: from films and adverts), Jazz
standards (such as Gershwin, Carmichael, Porter and Kern) through
to more contemporary pieces Coldplay, Sting, Elton John, Norah
Jones, Massive Attack, Radiohead,
Guns n Roses and many more!
Having studied the piano, violin and singing, she settled on the
Harp at 6 years old, and it soon
became apparent that the other instruments were secondary to her
interest in the Harp.

Over the years she has gained extensive experience performing
throughout the UK and abroad, including residencies in Cyprus and
aboard cruise ships.
Her varied repertoire has delighted a wide range of clients and
her soothing and uplifting music
played on her Harp has added an
air of refinement and relaxation.
Fiona also performs for a number
of talks and afternoon teas in her
local area for a wide genre of clientele and also is a supporter of
the Macmillan Cancer Charity and
performs for fundraising Concerts
on their behalf.
Affectionately described as the
most friendly, 'normal' Harpist about, Fiona is blessed with a
strong sense of humour and a personality to match. With this coupled up and a sympathetic musical
ear, this ensures that the client is
given a first class musical service
with regards to their special occasion.
Her professionalism is evident
throughout her attitude to playing
and providing a first class service
for each event.
