About Me
Jazz harpist
Welsh harpist Amanda Whiting has very quickly established herself as an essential part of the UK jazz scene. With her classical training, she has carved out her own unique sound following in the paths forged by Ashby and Coltrane. Touring extensively with her own band as well as previously with Matthew Halsall, Chip Wickham, DJ Yoda and Rebecca Vasmant, she endlessly delivers immense beauty and depth from the stage. Her Cheltenham Jazz set 2023 was BBC Radio 6’s Cerys Matthews’ “highlight of the festival…Extraordinary. An astonishing musical mind.”. Add to that three incredibly successful albums (“highly recommended” by Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2) for the legendary Jazzman record label and a nomination for Instrumentalist of The Year at the Jazz FM awards and you get a picture of a hugely important talent. In November 2023, Amanda released two albums; a remix album of Lost in Abstraction out on Albert’s Favourites and a collaboration with Don Leisure on her new label First Word Records. Her new solo album “The Liminality of Her” will be out in March 2024. Amanda currently teaches Jazz harp at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. As a composer she has 23 pieces on Trinity Music College Exam syllabus, as well as having a prestigious Harp Column Studio.
