Harpist Lily Neill will be playing at Camden's Green Note on 15th February (two minutes from Camden Town Tube)

Lily Neill is recognized as "…part of the new Harp revolution extolling aspects of harp music never previously heard," 2005 Irish Music Magazine. She was a prize-winner at the All-Ireland Harp competition and has won numerous awards, honours and scholarships for her technical and artistic abilities as well as her original compositions. More recently, Lily was named LiveIreland.com's "2006 New Female Artist of the Year."
Lily's musical style is at once rich in tradition and uniquely her own. Her experiences working with artists from different genres and backgrounds, from folk to classical and rock spheres, have played a major part in shaping and continuing to shape Lily's music. Central to Lily's style is her utilization of techniques and repertoire from instruments other than her own. In defining Lily's style, The Green Man Review writes, "It is delightful to welcome a new talent and one that is brimming with ideas, creative energy and yet has a [vice-like] grip on traditional methods and methodology, while pushing the envelope stylistically."

Lily was on my radio show a couple of weeks ago and then I saw her at a concert. She was absolutely brilliant on both occasions.

Carries the harp on public transport as she does not drive. Wonderful lady and a must see.
