Celtic Wedding Harps
Lucia McGinnis, wedding harpist and event musician
Introduction
I first heard the harp played whilst on holiday in County Clare, and it has been an obsession ever since. I was brought up in the Irish aural tradition where learning by ear was encouraged, and I continued to develop my skills at the University of Limerick.
