Recital by the Eos Duo followed by Afternoon Tea
The Eos Duo (Laurel Saunders – clarinet and Angharad Huw –harp) will be performing a one hour recital in the beautiful setting the Yellow Broom Restaurant. This will be followed by a delicious afternoon tea. This popular event sells out quickly every year.
Laurel Saunders – Clarinet
Starting out as a clarinettist in the West of England Youth Orchestra, based in Bradford-On-Avon in Wiltshire, Laurel is currently studying at the Royal Northern College of Music, principally under the tutelage of Gabor Varga.
She has participated in a diverse selection of concerts ranging from charity and retirement home performances with solo and ensemble playing to performing with larger groups such as the Manchester Video Game Orchestra, The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Scotland and RNCM Wind Orchestra. She also has a passion for working with composers, resulting in collaborative premieres of works by Aaron Breeze and Zakiya Leeming.
Angharad Huw – Harp
Welsh harpist Angharad Huw is currently in her third year at the Royal Northern College of Music, studying with Anne-Marie O’Farrell. She started to play the harp when she was nine years old under Ceinwen Roberts’s tuition. In 2017, she began studying with Eira Lynn Jones at Junior RNCM, where she was awarded the Rotary Prize for Performance and the John Ellis Memorial Prize during her two years of study.
During her time at the RNCM, Angharad has performed with the RNCM Symphony, Opera, Wind, and Brand New Orchestras, and established the Tegid Duo with harpist Jess Hughes, and the Eos Duo with clarinettist Laurel Saunders. She is due to perform with the RNCM Harp Ensemble at the World Harp Congress in Cardiff.
Over the past few years, Angharad has performed in numerous concerts across North Wales, Cheshire, Merseyside, and Greater Manchester as a soloist, ensemble player, and orchestral musician. She has performed in both Edinburgh and Wales International Harp Festivals, and was awarded second place in the Urdd National Eisteddfod and the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

Some important advice regarding this year’s Goosfest events
Thank you for buying this ticket for a Goosfest event. Your comfort and safety are of paramount importance to us, so we have put procedures in place to mitigate any risks occurring from COVID-19.
Please read this to remind yourselves of the advice we are providing.
Please do not attend an event if you are experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19;
- have a confirmed positive test; are currently quarantining or have been asked to isolate by NHS Track and Trace. If you are in any doubt about your health on the day of the event, we would strongly recommend that you undertake a lateral flow test at home, which is easily performed and takes 30 minutes.
- Hand sanitisers will be available at all indoor events. Please feel free to make use of these at entry or any other time. We will also have disposable face coverings should you want one.
- All venues will be cleaned before entry and surfaces wiped down. This will also apply to the toilets, where there will be a limit on numbers at any one time.
- Where a bar is provided, we will only be able to process card transactions and we will not handle cash. Depending on the venue and the situation at the time of the performance, we may restrict bar orders to table service to avoid the need for queueing.
- Seating will be socially distanced where possible and / or individuals in regular ‘bubbles’ will be asked to sit together.
- We will be opening windows and keeping doors open where this will not disrupt the event.
- Face coverings are not mandatory but are encouraged, particularly if you are concerned about proximity to others not wearing one. The Yellow Broom has a face covering policy in place. We are aware this can be a divisive issue but ask guests to be kind and respect the wishes of others nearby.
All of us have begun to adapt our lives to how we evaluate risk and feel comfortable in situations where people meet. With this in mind, we ask people to be vigilant during the current situation we find ourselves in.
Like other event promoters, we are following UK Government advice and guidelines. Should these change, we will update the Goosfest website with any changes we are required to make.
Thank you
The Goosfest Committee
