A WHOLE DAY OF ALL THINGS SCOTTISH HARP!! **Sunday the 27th August **
Can you think of anything better?? If not… PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!

I’m very much looking forward to be taking part in the “Celebrate Scottish Harp Day” as part of the Creative Peebles Festival at the Eastgate Theatre in Peebles, the Scottish Borders.

They’ve a host of workshops, so whether you’ve just wanted to try out a harp (for free!!) or are a more experienced player, you’ll get the chance to learn from myself, Heather Yule and Charlotte Petersen.

AND my own group, the Rachel Hair Trio are playing in the evening at the theatre. If you come to a workshop you can get yourself a good deal on both 🙂
