ABOUT

Electro-Acoustic Harpist | Folk Musician | Composer | Educator

​

Hello, I’m Niamh Flynn - an electro-acoustic harpist, folk musician, and composer based in Leeds. I studied Popular & Folk Music at Leeds Conservatoire, where I graduated with a first-class degree, and now split my time between performing, writing, and music education.

​

I create and perform original music using live loops and effects, blending the acoustic sound of the harp with layered textures and a contemporary edge. I released my first two singles 'Constellations' & 'Lunas Launch" last year, and have been writing and recording since with my Debut EP on the horizon!

 

I regularly perform at weddings and events, both solo and alongside other wonderful musicians, you can find out more about this via the 'Weddings and Events' page. I also work as a session musician, collaborating with artists across genres, both performing live and recording in studios. 

​

As a folk musician, I am 1 quarter of the folk band 'Helian', and one half of a duo with fiddle player Charlie Birkett. Both projects are rooted in traditional music, with space to explore new ideas and sounds. If you want to find out more about those you can head to 'Projects' and if you wanted to hear some of our music, you can find that on 'My Music'. 

​

Outside of performing, I work as an early years music practitioner, delivering interactive and inclusive sessions for young children and families. I currently work with different organisations including Made with Music, The Amber Trust, and Stories with Liv. 

​

Whether I’m playing for a live audience, recording in the studio, or leading a music session with families, I’m passionate about creating meaningful, engaging experiences through music.
