Bethan Nia Harpist Singer for South Wales WeddingsBethan studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and worked extensively as an actress in theatre and Welsh language television before deciding to pursue a career as a full time harpist and singer.

I’m a big fan of Bethan Nia. She brings a delightful freshness to every performance, with a superb mixture of traditional and contemporary material. Her harp–playing perfectly matching a gorgeous voice. Guaranteed to charm any audience.
” - Frank Hennessy, BBC Radio Wales.

In 2008 Bethan won the coveted Danny Kyle award at Celtic Connections. She is
the only Welsh musician to have won the award. She has since performed at many festivals including the opening ceremony of Lorient Inter-Celtic Festival, Brittany and Llangollen International Eisteddfod where she performed to an audience of thousands.

After a chance meeting on a train with Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival organiser, Bethan was asked to play at the opening of Pilton Village Hall and impressed Mr Eavis enough to be booked two years running at Glastonbury Festival.

Concerts include performances with Heather Jones and Frank Hennessy and support for Julie Fowlis, Malinky, Marie Ni Chathasaigh, Ffynnon and Bella Hardy. Collaborations include Stacey

Weddings

The beautiful sound of the Celtic harp can add a touch of magic to your wedding day. A favourite song played during the signing of the register can make the ceremony extra special and personal to you both. The ambient and soothing strings are an excellent accompaniment to the drinks reception or wedding breakfast.

Bethan is an experienced wedding harpist and her repertoire contains a wide variety of music - traditional, classical and popular.

If you live within driving distance of Pontypridd, Bethan offers a one-hour, no obligation consultation. This is an opportunity for you to meet Bethan, hear her play the harp and discuss your musical ideas and requirements.

If you are interested please contact Bethan to arrange a suitable date.

Please
e-mail details of the wedding to info@bethannia.co.uk stating whether you are interested in prices for the ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast (or a combination of all three).

Dear Melissa

I hope that you are well.

Please forgive me for emailing you out of the blue, but I have recently moved back to Wales, and was a Professional Harpist in London.

Many years ago, I used to work at Craig Y Nos, for Noson Lawen's and weddings, and wondered if it would be at all possible to be on your list of preferred suppliers for musicians for weddings?

I look forward to hearing from you

With all good wishes and kind regards

Rebecca
