Sam MacAdam plays both the traditional Scottish harp and the classical pedal harp, which allows her to play a diverse range of music from classical through to popular. Sam is currently continuing her musical training on both instruments at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.The pedal harp is a stunning instrument, and will add a touch of glamour to your event. It is the louder of the two instruments, and perfect for busier events, or larger venues.The Scottish harp is smaller, and perfect for Scottish themed, or more intimate events.Experienced in playing for ceremonies and drinks receptions she can offer guidance for choosing music. Sam plays harp regularly for afternoon teas around the central belt and has a wide repertoire range. If there is a piece that you would like played which isn't on her list, please discuss it with her as she is happy to learn specific pieces.
