Margaret says: "I try to play music to suit all tastes - from classical and traditional to old time favourites, songs from films and shows and more recent popular hits. The harp is a very versatile instrument and I am able to cover many musical styles. It is the ultimate romantic touch at a wedding and couples are delighted when I am able to play their 'special tune', as it gives an extra personal dimension to their wedding day".
