Subject: RE: Welsh harp concert in Kansas City Apr 25
It may be worth posting the whole tour:
Fri Apr 20 University of Georgia, Athens GA Tue Apr 24 Harp Workshop, Kansas City MO Tue Apr 25 Welsh Society, Kansas City MO Fri Apr 27 Firelands Presbyterian Church, Port Clinton OH Sat Apr 28 Harps on Main, Rising Sun IN Sun Apr 29 Byron Colby Barn, Grayslake IL Mon Apr 30 St. Paul's Cathedral, London ON Canada Wed May 2 Spanish Peaks Celtic Festival, La Veta CO Thu May 3 Welsh League of Arizona, Phoenix AZ Sat May 5 Sylvia Woods Harp Center, Glendale CA Sun May 6 Painted Sky Studios, Cambria CA Tue May 8 Freight and Salvage, Berkeley CA
Also, to note that Robin's CDs (well - most of them) are available at Sain and I'm pretty sure that they'll be available as downloads from ITunes. Similarly Crasdant and Cusan Tan. The triple harp ensemble of which he is a member (one of 5 triple harps, although I hear rumours that it will soon be 6) records, I think, on Tant and I have no link for them. Do you have one, Dr Price?
Of course, fans of the triple harp (or harp in general) can find CDs by the great Llio Rhydderch with another company, Fflach .
Folk harp enthusiasts should look to Delyth Jenkins who has recorded both with Sain and others. Also with the Sain stable are Sian James and Gwenan Gibbard. I know that Gwenan is touring Canada and the US in October. She'll be in Toronto I know, and I think at Celtic Colours, NS. She and Robin played at the Edinburgh Harp Festival at the end of last month and I happened to be speaking at the TMSA conference the next day so we had a very long and boozey late night supper - much enjoyed.
Of course, this being Wales, this is not an extensive list of harp players - traditional or otherwise!
