I learned the piano and harp during my teens when I also wrote many songs. I did not turn professional until my mid thirties out of desperation for an income and found this through providing music and songs for weddings. This was very successful work for me.
Twenty years later I am now a concert performer singing my own songs, my interpretations of poems of Irish poets set to music and some Irish favourites.
I perform two overseas tours a year outside of ireland, usually to North America, Australia or around Europe and within my Ireland home from time to time.
“Claire Roche is one of Ireland's best known harpists.She now performs concerts around Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK, and has been the support act for some of the great names of Irish music including The Chieftains and The Fureys.
