The latest video on my YouTube channel is a Game of Thrones harp cover.
I recently read A Song of Ice and Fire and watched a few seasons of Game of Thrones for the first time.
The theme music is so epic I found an arrangement and recorded it for my YouTube channel. Alongside the Game of Thrones harp cover, you can find lots of other covers, as well as various harp pieces that I love.
I actually recorded this video while live-streaming on Twitch. As a musician, I’m so glad I found twitch. I usually live-stream there twice a week, on Wednesday and Sunday evenings for a couple of hours. There’s a lovely community over there and it’s a great place to hang out, chat, practice, and of course, to play some of your requests too.
Due to the pandemic, I’ve been pretty much unable to perform since around February 2020. I find it so special to feel like I’m playing for an audience again. And, because it’s via the internet, I don’t even have to move my harp or drive anywhere. It’s every harpist’s dream!
Post-pandemic
Aside from streaming, I’m happy to say life is getting busy again. I’ve started playing the organ at a nearby village church. I’m definitely not a qualified organist and am learning as I go, but I’m really enjoying it and love spending time in the community this way.
I’ve also just accepted the post of Harp Tutor for Yorkshire Young Musicians. This is a really exciting teaching opportunity and I can’t wait to dive in.
I’ve got lots of ideas for future YouTube videos for my channel, so make sure you are subscribed. If you have any questions about the harp, or any requests for future covers, definitely let me know – I’d love to hear from you.
In the meantime, there’s a box on the right hand side of this page where you can sign up to receive these updates in your email inbox. It’s a great way to stay in touch.
