Breathtaking!

Jade is amazing! Everything was well organised leading up to the day and she was even happy to take our quite random song requests - she then played these so beautifully throughout our service at the church, making the service feel truly magical. Our guests were blown away with the addition of harp music in the church and are still talking about it today!

Jade was absolutely amazing. She went as far as to tie her dress into the colour scheme and was so personable with us from the first call we had. She learnt our aisle song and played it perfectly. The harp added a beautiful element to our wedding and we will cherish the memories forever. If you are considering live music, I would definitely recommend Jade.
Thank you so much Jade.

As a young musician I was awarded a scholarship to study at Dartington International School and played on a bright green electric harp. My music has been featured on BBC 1 and written about in BBC Music magasine.

I performed at Blenheim Palace playing Strauss Waltz music which was such a romantic highlight and let the harp shine!

I have a black cat called smudge and he likes to go to sleep in my harp covers, when he can.

I am a fan of yoga and swimming and like to walk in nature, with my favourite place being the Lake District.
