ALT From an early age, I had been heavily influenced by my Aunty and fellow Harper, Laoise Kelly who had inspired me to pick up a harp at the age of 5. I was soon taught by Breton harper Tristan LeGovic, who brought me into the Scottish Clarsach scene within a couple of years. As I grew and improved, I decided to join my local Comhaltas - St Roch’s Irish Minstrels CCE, which lead to me gaining the perfect balance of Irish and Scottish repertoire. By my teens I was massively enjoying music and knew I wanted to pursue the harp as a career.
