Title edit
Peter Murphy, harpist
Description edit
Harpist
Born and raised in Wolverhampton, England, Peter Murphy is much influenced by his Irish heritage. His mother comes from Cahirciveen on the Ring of Kerry, and his father is from Killala Bay, Co. Mayo. As a boy he spent many holidays in Co. Kerry hearing the traditional music and poetry of relatives and friends.
At the age of 15, he began classical guitar lessons with Michael Raven, a hobby which developed into playing at weddings.
Music took a back seat after Peter joined a leading firm of City accountants and then the taxation department of a UK merchant bank When he was offered the position of company accountant for a London-based civil engineering firm, his longing for playing music returned.
