With over 10 years experience as a professional harpist Lucinda's sound is unique and captivating. Her playing has carried her through a crossover of musical spectrums from Orchestral work through to afternoon teas at some of the UK's most prestigious hotels.  Her playing is highly emotive and suitable for all manner of occasions from Regattas to Champagne Receptions. Highly proficient for all forms of ceremony also Lucinda's experience in playing at Weddings and Civil partnerships is unparalleled.  

Uniquely, Lucinda is also a professional vocalist and can embrace you with the intimacy of her voice and harp playing combined. She will invite you on a journey you didn't even know you wanted to take with these breathtaking recitals.   
 
Already an established songwriter for other artists (Lisa Stansfiled, Joanna Zimmer, Ava Leigh, adverts and TV) Lucinda's predominant focus is as a virtuoso performer. To this end Lucinda has collated an extensive repertoire of classic and contemporary songs from an array of genres. These she plays in a variety of formations outlined below - each one with its own particular style and nuance.

'She's raw and sexy and not to be missed!' 
 
Lucinda can provide suitable music between sets on an MP3 player to keep the ambience of the evening at its best. She can also learn pieces, provided she has at least 4 weeks' notice.

Client Comment

I just wanted to say a very belated thanks to you and to Lucinda for all you did to make our wedding party on the 8th September special.  Lucinda was fantastic (if a little too good looking for a prima donna bride's tastes!!) and lots of guests commented on her performance and the wonderful atmosphere she created.  You were equally professional and reassuring throughout the whole process, for which many thanks.

I'm not planning on repeating the wedding experience, but if ever we have a party again I will be sure to remember you both.

Many thanks,

Lindsey

         
                     
                     
         

         
                     
                     
         

Jazz Duo/Trio /Quartet – (Vocals. Piano, Bass, Drums)
A classic repertoire of old faithful jazz standards like, ‘Love for Sale’ ‘My Heart belongs to Daddy’,  ‘Smile’ and many more… songs that you can groove to and others that will intoxify you. Throw in the sultry tones of Lucinda’s vocals and her stunning presentation and this combination is perfect for any event….
Move over Michelle Pfeiffer!

 Jazz String Duo – (Harp/Guitar/Voice)
Delightful and original mixture of French Gypsy standards (Djenjo reinhart), fused with fusion funked up Brazilian sampa nova and classic bossas. This duo uplifts and keeps the party going whilst their subtlety ensures they don’t interfere…. The perfect compliment to any restaurant, bar or private function!

 Harp Solo
Light classical, popular music and jazz standards. Songs such as,  Debussy’s Arabesque,  Hasslemans, Schindler’s List, Autumn Leaves, Blame it on My Youth,  Ennio Morricone’s The Mission, Misty and Sunrise Sunset. There’s a tune for everyone!

 Latin Duo – (Guitar and Voice). 
A wonderfully authentic act with a flamenco guitarist who takes you back to heart of Valencia accompanied, by the sultry style of Lucinda on vocals and the baby harp. Performing Cuban Bossas, Spanish Flamenco and Brazilian Folk songs which span The Buena Vista Social Club, Gypsy Kings, Gilbert/Jobim - this repertoire of south traditional and modern Latin songs is full of energy and will breathe life into any party or occasion!
