About Me

Steph West
I am a folk musician based in the South of England, I make my living by playing and teaching harp and traditional music. I play English and Irish traditional music, as well as sing, compose and arrange my own stuff. I've also been known to dabble in fiddle, piano and any other instruments as I can get my hands on.

I've been privately researching harps, different harp techniques, folk music and music in general since 2002. This is where I am collecting my thoughts together. I also write about my deformed right hand and the challenges this has presented me.

Some posts are well organised, others are the electronic equivalent of post-its to catch the idea.

If you have any thoughts or links to add to these posts please leave me a comment.
