harps and Celtic Connections
The harp takes on many roles in Celtic music -- and other sorts of music too, of course. It may be by turns percussive or melodic, leading the song or following a singer. Though the harp has a lot of ethereal connotations, in practice it is a powerful, and powerfully used, instrument.
Below, three harp situations at the Celtic Connections in Glasgow where that was true: the musicians are Mary Ann Kennedy, Moya Brennan, and Siobhan Armstrong.

I absolutely LOVE the sound of the harp!!! You are correct it mentioning its strong and powerful sounds- but heavenly also.
