Harpists

What could be more fitting than the angelic sound of a harp at your wedding? Inspired Music are proud to present two wonderfully gifted harpists…

‘Magical’ BBC Radio 4, Jenni Murray, (Women’s Hour). 

Joy is a prize winning harpist, performing regularly as a soloist, chamber and orchestral musician, throughout the United Kingdom and abroad. She  is one of the most highly respected harpists on the circuit today and her performance brings a special touch to any event.

Joy has played at such diverse occasions as the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, a harp recital for Queen Elizabeth II, Baroque opera at Covent Garden, and the Glastonbury Rock Festival, (with her electric harp!). She has had her own jazz harp residency at London’s Cafe de Paris and has made numerous appearances on television, (TOTP, MTV etc), and radio.

This versatility means she can tailor her repertoire perfectly for each individual occasion, from the intimacy of a small ceremony, to filling a stadium. Joy performs on 7 different harps, from a classic golden concert grand, to medieval, baroque and ultra modern electric harps!

For a very special and unique experience, Joy offers ‘Storytelling’. She performs harp music and tells enchanting stories. Please ask for more information about her ‘Storytelling’.

Joy offers bespoke harp arrangements of your favourite music, beautifully crafted to reflect your personal story. Whether you love orchestral music such as The Lark Ascending, or heavy metal or pop, such as Led Zeppelin, Nirvana or ABBA, Joy transforms your chosen piece into a stunning performance for the harp.

As a lasting keepsake, a professional recording of your bespoke arrangement is also available.

‘So improvisatory and spontaneous. Very, very exciting’ BBC Radio 3, Sean Rafferty. 

For an extra touch of enchantment, Joy can roam among your guests with her medieval harp, bringing the timeless charm of a ‘bardic harper’ to your celebration. This unique, immersive performance creates a magical atmosphere your guests will never forget. She can also accompany the bride down the aisle, playing as she walks—a breathtaking and emotional moment.

Joy regularly performs with internationally acclaimed violinist Jorge Jiménez, offering a captivating harp and violin duo. From the elegance of Bach to foot-stomping folk tunes, their performances bring both energy and soul to your day—enhancing every moment, from joyful celebrations to quiet, heartfelt reflections. Jorge can also be booked to play solo violin.
