Ever wondered what it might be like to play the harp? Maybe more specifically, the jazz harp?

Join our host Jennifer McMahon as she chats with Irish harpist, Sorcha Mc Cague back in late 2025. 

Originally from Monaghan, Sorcha studied classical and Irish harp at both the Royal Irish Academy of Music and TU Dublin. Since 2018 though, she turned her focus to performing and popularising the inclusion of the harp in the more atypical world music and improvised music setting. She has collaborated with a host of rising jazz artists across Europe.

A featured artist in our musician-run series, Sorcha is making waves in the Irish jazz scene. Tune in to hear a bit about what she's up to, upcoming recording plans and the incredible diversity of the harp.
