Patrick Ball is one of the premier Celtic harp players in the world as well as a captivating storyteller. In playing the legendary brass-strung harp of Ireland with its crystalline sound, and in performing tales of wit and enchantment, Ball not only brings new life to two cherished traditions, but blends them to create a richly theatrical and hauntingly beautiful performance. Patrick now lives in County Clare, Ireland with his wife and dogs.

He continues to tour extensively throughout the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada and he has recorded nine instrumental and five spoken word albums which have sold well over one-half million copies collectively and earned national awards in both the music and spoken word categories.

In “Celtic Harp & Story” Patrick Ball rekindles the fire and wonder of an evening of Irish storytelling. And as always, amidst the storytelling, there will be music. Jigs, reels and haunting airs grace the spaces between the tales. And first among Irish instruments, and the most honored, was the legendary Celtic harp designed to soothe its listeners and lead them deeper into the realms of the imagination.
