Deirdre
Campbell-Shaw grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland. At the age of four
it was her dream to go on the stage and make music. After leaving
school she studied music, languages and marketing in Aberdeen
and Edinburgh and won scholarships to study singing with Neil
Mackie (Royal College of Music) and to spend periods of study
in Germany, Russia and Italy. After graduating from university,
she moved to Germany. Deirdre worked in education and industry
for a few years before discovering the celtic harp. She then
decided it was time to fulfil her childhood dream of making music
professionally. Now she travels around Europe performing music
from the celtic countries. She sings and plays the clarsach (celtic
harp) and encourages people to live their dreams.
