Cat plays a small Gothic harp, an equally small Celtic harp and a slightly larger Renaissance harp, and freelances extensively as an early- and clarsach harpist. Please see below for the activites of Cat’s chamber groups. Particularly prominent amongst her accompanying activities is a duo partnership with tenor Harry Bagnall, formed to focus on Gaelic-language folk song repertoire. Cat and Harry have recently recorded a short CD; coming up for them is an evening's musical entertainment for the Burns Club of London. Cat’s recent harp activities have included dates for the Scotland Office on Whitehall and for the Caledonian Society, medieval/folk crossover at Kington’s Rose Theatre for Maiden in the Moor and continuo playing in Padilla’s Missa Ego Flos Campi at St. Etheldreda’s, Ely Place. Cat maintains a long-standing relationship with the Worshipful Company of Woolmen, playing on an annual basis for their William Lambe service and for a recent court dinner.
