Weddings & Harps

I've just spent a long weekend in Northern Ireland attending a wedding. Everything went well, and everyone had a good time. One of the nice things during the wedding ceremony itself, was that there was a piece of music played on a harp at one point. This made a nice change from the organ traditionally played in churches, and the acoustics of the harp gave a different feel to the church. The harp player was Rachel Hair, who has been playing the Scottish harp since a child.

We made a weekend of the visit over from England, and had a day doing some of the tourist stuff. We visited the Giant's Causeway which is quite a spectular piece of coastline, and Bushmills Distillery which makes Irish Whiskey.
