The audience rightly loved it and thought that it was one of our
best concerts ever. Your playing is quite breathtaking, not only in
virtuosity but also in beauty"
Music in Rannoch
We were enchanted by the beautiful playing, and your whole
presentation. We especially appreciated your solos. It is like a
breath of fresh air to listen to live music again, but playing of that
quality was a special treat. Thank you, and do come again to
Rothesay!

Very many thanks for ending our 2022-23 concert season in such a
virtuosic way. We were all delighted with such a diverse
programme, so beautifully performed.
Music in West Kilbride
Thank you so much for the excellent concert you gave us on Sunday afternoon… We have lots of people say
how much they enjoyed it. We could see that you were both delighted to be able to perform together again
and we greatly enjoyed the varied programme you put together for us. You are both such talented musicians
and your two instruments blend together so well. We also enjoyed your solo pieces
Gatehouse Music Society
Great to meet you both last night, and have your wonderful concert. All fantastic feedback
Skye Chamber Music
Thank you both for a wonderful concert last night and thanks for introducing us to flute and harp music that
was unfamiliar. I am sure that many of our audience now have some new harp and flute favourites! It really
was a great programme that you put together for us.
Music in West Kilbride
The concert was brilliant. The varied programme skillfully performed with passion kept me engaged. I
connected especially with Helen Grimes' Dance for Flute and Harp - very quirky and abstract. I am a big Ravi
Shankar fan, also of his daughter Anoushka, so Raga Todi in the programme was a great surprise. I liked the
way the harp took the part of the sitar, perfectly blending with the flute.
Hawick Music Club
Thank you so much for providing us with such a brilliant end to our season in your concert last night. There
was enormous variety in your choice of music, and everyone will have found pieces to which they could relate.
And there wasn’t a dry eye in the house for your encore item!

A MAAA-rvellous afternoon of music: Lochgilphead Parish Church was the place to be when Mid Argyll
Arts Association (MAAA) held its concert featuring the celebrated Clyde Duo.
An afternoon of delight with calm, mesmerising, meditative and at times hypnotic sounds, the pair, harpist,
Sharron Griffiths and flautist, Aisling Agnew brought a programme of music from the traditional European
schools to the more exotic rhythms and tonalities of Egypt and India. “A sonata for the harp, with flute obligato
by Afro-French composer, Joseph Bologne, opened our concert. This was just the first of many new pieces that
the audience were treated to as Sharron and Aisling are actively performing work by lesser known
composers. Sonatas by Nina Rota (of ‘The Godfather’) and Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia (1723 – 1787)
followed later in the afternoon… The other works were all stand alone compositions showcasing the skills and
virtuosity of Sharron and Aisling. They included ‘Entr’acte Jacques’ (Ibert), ‘Nocturne’(Boulanger) and ‘Danse
Lente’ (Jongen). A visit to Egypt by Adbel-Rahim who is known as the ‘Bartok of Egypt’ used exotic Arab
harmonies and highly decorated solo lines in his ‘Dance of Isis’. A very different and technically challenging
sound was brought to both harp and flute by the Clyde Duo for this work. Moving on to Indian and a
composition by Ravi Shanker KBE, transcribed for flute and harp completed the captivated audience’s round-
best concerts ever. Your playing is quite breathtaking, not only in
virtuosity but also in beauty"
