The supremely talented contemporary harpist Pippa Reid-Foster discusses her stunning new album ‘Undercurrents’ which is out on September 6 with Shaun Milne in Episode 15 of the Good Stuff in Between podcast.

She has a brilliant story of overcoming adversity after fearing her career would come to an end following a terrible accident which saw her ability to play left hanging in the balance but for the determination and expertise of a surgeon and NHS to save her talents.

Her recovery and focus has come with the reward of musical legends including Philip Glass, Max Richter and Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres endorsing the use of their music in her new works to stand proudly alongside her original compositions which, as the album title suggests, dives deep into topics around water including the sea, wild swimming, nature and climate crisis to name a few.

Hailing from Helensburgh and born with a love for sailing, she is also working on an exciting new project collaborating with an international group of artists of all disciplines following a recent sea faring adventure with the The Excelsior Trust that will see them tour around Norway, the Faroe Islands and other music loving nations next year.

She has just released her first single from the forthcoming album with ‘Turning Tides’ where she shares the rhythms and waves of her secret sanctuary from life’s challenges in the hope it helps bring calm to others. She will also appear in new work from the astonishingly talented singer, songwriter and composer Siobhan Wilson.
