Harpist Fiona Hosford tells us more about her business

Fiona Hosford

Fiona Hosford is a talented harpist based in the South East of England. Her work takes her to Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Hampshire and Berkshire, performing at weddings, corporate events, and other social events.

Fiona has been performing for more than 20 years and her repertoire ranges from classical music to light jazz and modern classics. She can cater for every musical taste and is happy to incorporate any special requests into her performance.

Fiona tells us what she's been up to over the last few years. "To help couples during the pandemic, I started hosting free nightly concerts through my Facebook page," says Fiona. "I've been continuing this ever since and have loyal and lovely followers from Germany, Australia and America, besides the UK! I like to theme each Friday night's online playing session and haven't run out of ideas yet! I was also nominated for a 'Local Hero' award in March 2020 for my online concert series by BBC Radio Sussex, which was lovely and quite unexpected! I was then given an online award in January 2021 for my 'online series' by David Taylor, who's well known throughout the classical music world.

" With quite a few weddings having to be postponed on average three times for each couple, I've made sure that all changes to details, such as venues, timings and music are given the utmost attention and this is usually done via a series of online meetings so that the couple are happy with what they've chosen musically."

Attending weddings can be a joyous occasion, but it can also be expensive, particularly if you're invited to more than one over the course of the year. Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
