"We were having coffee in Michelangelo's one day in 2014 when Anna told us about her dream of a harp festival. Anna was determined to make it a reality, and her excitement was contagious. She needed help with producing the programme and we offered. Simple as that. It has been great being part of the team from the beginning and watching "Harp on Wight" grow with each year."
