Harp sparkle
author: howeird
I went to Gwen's concert at Consonance (filk convention) near San Francisco and ordered the CD as soon as I got home. You will be amazed at the harpistry on this CD, but it is even more amazing to see her magic in concert. As the liner notes say, it's as if a box of fairies is hidden somewhere on the instrument.
While you're being dazzled by the harp, don't forget to listen to the words. Some of the tracks are clever take-offs, while others are more traditional minstrel ballads. Cinderella Sleeps is one to listen to closely.
Contrary to the info here on CDBaby, Gwen know lives & works in the UK.

Great album! Interesting songs, lovely harp, wonderful voice!

This is definitely *not* just another newagy harp album!
Gwen's playing is beautiful as is her voice, but the songwriting
is what really sets this album apart. Her lyrics will make you think,
make you laugh, maybe even make you squirm a little.
I find myself listening to this album over and over and hearing something
new each time. -- Highly recommended!

This album is fantastic. I listened to it just before work one night, and "Last Run" ran through my head all night. If you've ever played Shadowrun, you *must* hear that song.
