Promo Kit


From Alison's Most Recent

Gulf Islands Tour



"Sensitive and real"


Interspersing her performance with bits of humour,

Vardy tickles her audience


Charming and elfin-like something wonderfully medieval

transits her presence. 

Gabriola Sounder


luscious round-the-world tour


Rearranging folk music from around the world, this

highly skilled and whimsical woman pulls and twists

exotic rhythms from the strings

News Leader


a complex embroidery of sound… runs, trills, triplets,

glissandos with the confidence of a seasoned player ….

Vardy is a master of the technique of the harp

Island Tides


pure, ethereal sound

Gulf Islands Driftwood
