Robyn Sutherland- Harp and Voice

Robyn Sutherland
Harp and Voice

"Her contemporary style has been likened to Clannad, Enya and Loreena McKennit "

Add a touch of enchantment to your special occasion!

Robyn Sutherland is a harp player and singer. She sings with a purity of voice reminiscent of ancient Celtic music - timeless songs in English, Latin and Galician Portuguese. A love of Celtic song, Medieval and Early music is reflected in her repertoire.

Robyn can provide exquisite background entertainment at your corporate event or private function and create a wonderful atmosphere as your guests are arriving or dining - themed events are a speciality. Also suitable for feature spots in larger shows.

Set a romantic mood for your wedding with instrumental music as your guests are arriving. A song or instrumental piece of your choice for the bridal entrance, during the signing of the register and at the end of your ceremony, then create a sublime ambience with the addition of ethereal vocals at the reception. Especially good for celtic style weddings.

Robyn is also available as Solo Harp instrumental only

Robyn has recently released her debut CD "Tempest Lament" - check it out

Ideal for: Wedding ceremonies & receptions, corporate events, dining, pre-dinner drinks or general background music. Also Celtic or Medieval themed events.
Robyn also has up to 3 hours of Christmas song material and can dress in Xmas theme if required

Hi Kellie
We were all totally delighted with the quality of the music provided by Robyn. It was in a garden setting in dappled sunlight - simply perfect! Robyn liaised comfortably with our son and his fiancee to put together a programme of music for the afternoon.
Many thanks

Hi Pete,
We were very very happy with Robyn's Harp & Voice entertainment on saturday night.
With out exception every-person attending made some comments on how special it was
to have entertainment of that high quality which fitted in with the function and that did not
take over from the main theme which was a 60th birthday garden party.
Thank you

Hi Pete
Many thanks, all performers were great, managed to see robyn and sasha perform on saturday but didn't have a chance to see heartstrings, but from all feedback they were great.
Thanks again

Robyn played the Harp and sang during our Wedding Reception at the Grand
Tearoom, Heritage Hotel. Unfortunately we were out on our photo shoot
when Robyn was performing so didn't hear her first hand - however we have
received excellent feedback from guests saying it made all the difference
to the atmosphere having Robyn playing in the background. She did a superb
job and was very accommodating when we thought we may need her to stay for
an extra hour. Thanks Robyn. Rachael&Andrew (March 2005)

Thanks Pete,
although I did not attend the event we have had great feedback about Robyn, particularly from the Mayoress. Please pass this comment on to her if possible.
Cecily (Auckland city Council mayoral event February 2005)

Robyn was wonderful - I only hope she wasn't too put off by the fact people
didn't appear to be listening to her at first as we had the 'official' part
of the evening going on. After the speeches were over, however, people did
wander out to sit and listen to her and it was very well received - she
plays and sings beautifully.
We'll be happy to use Robyn again at one of our functions when appropriate.
Thanks
Margaret Allen (Auckland City Council mayoral function) November 2004

Thanks Pete, Robyn was an absolute professional. You could have heard a pin drop when she walked onto stage and began playing. Thanks so much for putting me in touch with her.

Caroline (Barley, Nova Ltd, Ball Nov 2002)

Hi Pete
Yes, very pleased with Robyn's performance. The function went well, and I
will keep your details on file for future events.

Thanks again.
