Laoise grew up in the rich Irish Traditional Music scene in the west of Ireland and has pioneered a new style of driving instrumental harp playing.  She has 3 solo albums and recorded with Ireland’s foremost artists from The Chieftains to Kate Bush.  She is the director of the Achill International Harp Festival and has performed at many other festivals such as Womad, Celtic Connections and the World Harp Congress in Paraguay. Theatre productions, state visits and even the Irish presidents have benefitted from Laoise’s musical skills and it is unsurprising that she is a winner several times over in the All-Ireland Harp competitions. ‘An unassuming virtuoso’
