Welcome to the website of harp player Lily Neill! Lily performs and teaches around the world, performing a mixture of her original compositions and music from various folk traditions. Irish Music Magazine has praised her work as "part of the new Harp revolution extolling aspects of harp music never previously heard". Lily's foundation in Irish music, coupled with her eclectic tastes and classical piano training, has enabled her to expand the voice of the harp through her arrangements of music and in her original compositions. Her appearances, from performances in concert halls and arts centres to shows in clubs and festivals, have allowed her to bring the harp to new audiences.

Please explore the pages of this website to learn more about Lily and her recordings and live performances.

The above video was made by a fan (thank you!) and features "Life on Wheels", a track from Lily's NEW CD, "The Habit of a Foreign Sky". The CD was released late January 2011 and Irish Music Magazine has already given it a glowing review, writing, "The Habit of a Foreign Sky lives and breathes with a musical and artistic freedom which is boundless in its possibility and contagious in its energy and passion". Please visit CD Baby and iTunes to buy a copy or catch Lily on tour to get one!

Lily's version of Carolan's "Loftus Jones" (also featured on "The Habit of a Foreign Sky") was filmed in St. Stephen's Green in Dublin. It is an exclusive recording for Gaelchultúr, an organisation that promotes Irish language and culture. They carry "The Habit of a Foreign Sky" on their Siopa.ie site - check them out!
