About this act
Harp and voice, from the one performer. Melanie Trapman works across weddings, funerals, national anthems and the sort of event that needs music without a PA stack. She sings a mix pulled from the 50s through the 90s, with a soft spot for Nina Simone, Connie Francis and Tina Turner, and she'll sing in other languages too. Anthems are a genuine speciality: Advance Australia Fair, Lupang Hinirang, God Defend New Zealand, God Save The King. On harp it runs from classical and wedding standards to modern pieces. If there's a song that matters to you and it isn't in the repertoire yet, she'll learn it before the day. She needs about two metres square to set up. That's it.
