Autoharps
Welcome to the website of the United Kingdom Autoharp Association.
The aim of UK Autoharps, which was founded in 2001 by a bunch of
like-minded individuals who wanted to draw together their skills,
interest and enthusiasm, is to promote the knowledge of and interest in
the Autoharp, and to help and encourage the development and playing
skills of its members throughout the UK.
We
are a growing community of autoharpers from across the UK, ranging from
beginners to world-class players (including previous Mountain Laurel
and Winfield – World – Champions), who are
interested in playing in many different styles, across a wide range of
genres of music, and in getting together whenever we can to attend
workshops in order to learn new and different techniques, meet other
players, and enjoy playing together and with other instruments.
My
goal as the current President of the Association is to promote the
autoharp in areas of the UK where there is currently little or no
presence, while at the same time maintaining and improving the
provision of events for all our existing members, through consultation
to establish what they want from their Association.
If
you would like to play an autoharp, or already do, why not come and
join us?
