Elizabeth was born in Hampshire.
She read music at Exeter University, travelling to the Royal College of
Music in London for her harp studies. She now gives around one hundred
performances a year from formal recitals in historic houses or on specialist
arts cruises to weddings and funerals.
Her compositions have been used
by ITV, the BBC and by Irish, Japanese and Canadian film, radio and television.
In 2006 she was the only British performer to be shortlisted for Best Classical
Event Award in the combined Brighton Festivals, England's largest Arts
Festival.
Elizabeth's unique research into Victorian Fairy Harp Music
has led to many quaint adventures - a CD with worldwide distribution; radio
and TV broadcasts including a half-hour Radio 4 documentary; a West End
stage show with actor Simon Callow for which she also wrote the songs;
appearances at the Royal Academy of Art exhibition of Victorian fairy paintings
and at Prince Charles' unveiling of the restored Elfin Oak Tree in Kensington
Gardens; involvement in the major French exhibition Dragons, Elfes et Fées,
and an appearance in the award-winning Canadian television documentary
The Fairy Faith: all this and more besides making her England's unofficial
Fairy Harpist!
Her uniquely rich tone on the harp has graced several film/TV
soundtracks including more than fifty episodes of ITV's magical children's
series Bernard's Watch which has been shown in over 30 countries including
America, Canada, Iceland, Kenya, Iran, South Africa, Poland and Cyprus.
