HOW TO BOOK THE WINDHARPS
Roger Winfield has not been touring so much for the last two or three years owing to other musical commitments - but in 2004 he intends to start looking for suitable venues to display the harps. Arts administrators, festival organisers etc please note!
The following info has been used in the past to clarify what is involved
in a windharp gig.
Please contact roger@windharpmusic.com for additional information.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
The Harps are fitted
with specially developed magnetic pick-ups that create sound from even
the gentlest of breezes. Each instrument is channelled through a mixing
desk. The sound is amplified through a compact PA system.A standard mains
power supply is required. Roger Winfield can supply a 30 metre extension
cable.Total area needed is approx 20ft by 15ft.Choice of site is important
for a successful display of the Aeolian Harps. The site needs to be exposed
to as many wind directions as possible, with access for a vehicle and
a minimum amount of background noise.Some distance from any other events
is helpful.An ideal site will attract the casual passer-by as well as
those who will have seen the event advertised. In the absence of wind,
pre recorded CD's are played.When displaying the instruments, Roger Winfield,
a good comunicator is always on hand to discuss ideas and answer questions.
