'Run rings around' - you make a wonderful musical collaboration sound like a competition. This is great.

2:10 - wow. Would love to see Catriona play a set with Sierra Hull, I think as musicians they are on equal par.

This looks like to be the harp that Catriona designed along with Starfish designs. Doe's anybody know how the tuning works on this harp?

NO body runs rings around Phil; he is being a gentleman accompanist, and not his primary instrument. Not to take away from Cat, she is the best but so is he. Such a duo can only be called critical mass..... what a treat. Immodest note: he might have had a bit more power with one of my 10 strings. Nikos......Facebook page Apollo Stringed Instruments .
