All of the music heard on these recordings was arranged from traditional folk tunes (most of them Celtic in origin), by the performer, harpist Gwyneth Evans. Gwyneth is a former Professor of English at Vancouver Island University who now lives in Victoria and is in great demand as a musician. She and her husband Gary share their home with five harps (including the antique Lyon and Healy concert harp heard on this recording), as well as an English Setter named Pippin.
These notes were originally produced in Victoria, British Columbia, by Ian Alexander, Matthew Baird and Marilyn Dalzell.
