Claire Hamilton studied classical harp with David Watkins (Professor at the Guildhall School of Music) and since then has extended her repertoire to include Popular, Celtic and World music. She enjoys being versatile in performance and owns a range of harps to suit different occasions. She plays a beautifully restored Victorian concert harp for formal functions, an electric harp when playing with bands at festivals, and a traditional hand-carved Celtic harp for solo storytelling.
On Celtic Harp Romance Claire has taken some of the most recent great love songs such as Nelly Furtado’s “All good things (come to an end)”, Shakira’s “Underneath your Clothes”, Robbie William’s “Angels”, Jamie Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” and Michael Bublé’s “Everything” and adapted them to the beautifully soothing sounds of the Celtic Harp. Recent sales of her album “Wild Rose” has shown that there is a major market for this type of instrumental album. It is essential that the product is not only racked in the retail stores, but also gets a high profile with the online retailers such as Amazon and Bol.com
This is the music that appeals to a very wide group of people who, more importantly, still buy CD’s !
