The Angel

Award-winning poet Ivy Ireland performs as The Caged Angel to add a unique element of visual splendour to her harpisty.

The Music

Ivy sings and plays upon her harp from a diverse range of music, selecting songs to suit the occasion from a repertoire inlcuding classical scores, Celtic ballads, bardic harp poetry, orignal arrangfements and covers including rock, pop and 80's "hair metal".

Her impressive harp is a modern hybrid of both classical and celtic styles; a blend evidenced in her unique musical style.  

The Performance

The "Caged Angel" blends beautiful on-stage imagery with hauntingly beautiful music. The act is versatile, able to be performed as as a featured musical performance or as a bite-sized "cabaret" act, occasionally accompanied by visual imagery including shadow puppetry and digital projections.  

The Caged Angel can also become unique "musical site decor", adding visual splendour while entertaining the guests with splendid ambient background music during functions.
