I have known Robyn and worked with her for over a decade. From the initial enquiry to delivery of her performance she has always been so professional. The harp is certainly unique for the look and the sound is stunning, I love that Robyn can add vocals also. I would highly recommend her for any special event or wedding, she is a pleasure to work with.

Birthdays - 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 100th!!!
Harp is a lovely addition to your birthday plans and Robyn has played at many birthday celebrations. Great choice of live music as your guests can talk over the top of the entertainment.
The harp is also a great talking point for your guests and often at intimate functions Robyn will be asked lots of questions by the guests who have never seen a harp close up.
Particularly good for older peoples birthdays, afternoon tea parties and garden parties.
If you are having party music, a DJ or band later at night think about having the harp music at the start of your party.

Whether you are having an afternoon tea, an evening cocktail function, wine and cheese event or a full evening meal music is important for setting a warm and cosy atmosphere. It will be the icing on the cake.

Make it a birthday to remember and be talked about for years to come!

Robyn performed a gig at a cocktail function for 170 guests at the club. The ambience created was perfect for the occasion, nice and subtle yet audible enough for the guests to enjoy the music.
The set up was very professional, Robyn was excellent to deal with from pre-event to post-event. I highly recommend her for any company or personal event.
