Netty is joined by harpist Joy Smith in her cosy 17th-century weaver's cottage in Essex for the latest episode.
Joy, who owns 9 harps, takes us through the world of harps. They talk about all sorts of topics, including old English phrases, fun string facts, and being a regular top of the pops.
Percussionist, composer, and storyteller Joy, who was the harpist in Handel’s Giulio Cesare at Glyndebourne, shares the story of how her love for music began. She discusses harp tuning etiquettes, and improvisation, and shares her storytelling tales, as well as her other colourful activities outside of performing, in a fascinating episode.

Tea with Netty is our podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.
