Katie's
repertoire covers both traditional Celtic music and the
more innovative combination of harp and voice for popular
contemporary song. Her aim is to introduce the image of the
Scottish harp to a mainstream and worldwide audience and prove
that the bagpipe is not
Scotland's only musical treasure!
The Celtic harp
which is the instrument Katie plays is called a clarsach
- the Gaelic word for 'small harp'. The small harp is Scotland's
oldest instrument and has been on the music scene ever since the
8th Century.
Although
the Celtic harp's popularity diminished after the Middle
Ages it enjoyed a revival in the 19th and 20th Centuries. However
its greatest period of success has been in the last 20-30 years
and Katie wishes to continue a broadening awareness of the
clarsach by creating a modern sound with her voice and this
ancient instrument.
