Working across harp, piano and concertina, his approach draws from more than three decades of professional experience spanning classical training, jazz improvisation, folk traditions and contemplative acoustic music.

Increasingly centred around immersive live harp gatherings and hospitality partnerships, his work creates spacious listening environments designed to invite rest, reflection and quiet reconnection.

Gareth studied music and jazz at Leeds College of Music and Middlesex University, later continuing his training through the Orff-Schulwerk approach at both the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the San Francisco International Orff Course.

Alongside performance, teaching and creative music education have remained central to his work for nearly three decades, spanning private practice, schools and collaborative arts projects.

The harp entered Gareth’s life unexpectedly during a period when he had grown disillusioned with the conventional music industry and was considering leaving professional music altogether.

What began quietly as a personal study soon became transformative, rekindling a deeper relationship with listening, resonance and acoustic space that continues to shape his work today.
