About / Biography

Rated as one of the top harp players in the world, Paula is a truly versatile and experienced harpist. Following her success at several international harp competitions she has gone on to perform for HRH The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne as well as other members of the royal family. Paula has also performed live with Florence and the machine and Dizzy Rascal at the sold out 2010 Brit Awards Ceremony at the Earls Court Arena. Some of her harp recitals have been broadcast live on the radio and she has recently featured in a TV advert.

Paula studied at the Royal College Of Music in London, starting as an under graduate. She followed this with a post graduate course, which finally resulted in a masters degree.

Her many concerts have taken her to Royal venues such as: Kensington Palace, Saint James's Palace, Lambeth Palace, Banqueting House, Spencer House and Windsor Castle. As a soloist she has performed recitals in some of the most prestigious concert halls in London including Saint-Martin-in-the-Fields, Saint James's Piccadilly, Saint John's Smith Square, Winchester Cathedral, Shakespeare's Globe, Handel House Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, The Wallace Collection, Tate Modern, Foundling Museum and the National Gallery.

Paula's weddings and corporate events have seen her perform at prestigious venues including: Leeds Castle, Highclere Castle, Blenheim Palace, Syon House, the Royal Opera House, Lord's Cricket Ground, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London, The London Eye, Tower Bridge, The Cutty Sark, Christies Auction House, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Hanbury Manor, Clandon Park, The Mandarin Oriental, Brocket Hall, The Dorchester Hotel, The Langham, The Ritz, The Landmark, The Connaught and many others.

Though Paula's resume is very impressive, she keeps her feet firmly on the ground and often plays at registry offices, churches, lesser known wedding venues and even marquees in private gardens. She would love the opportunity to play at your event, so if you would like to check her availability and receive a confirmed quote for her services. Please use the email address below.
