Regina Delaney
Welcome to the online home of rdp music, representing Irish harper and singer Regina Delaney, and the New England Irish Harp Orchestra (NEIHO).
Happy New Year to all. I am truly enjoying the snow this year. It seems like it's been a long time since we've had a snowy winter. With the holidays being over, I'm diving into my beloved Traditional Irish music for the upcoming March season. At my 'Tunes and Technique' summer camp last year, one of the attendees brought my attention to a beautiful Danish waltz and it's become a staple of mine and The New England Irish Harp Orchestra. Thank you Melody. This coming March, I have a number of concerts, both solo and with The New England Irish Harp Orchestra(neiho.org) and I hope to see you there.
Keep visiting this site for information about this summers' 'Tunes and Technique' summer camp. I'll be posting dates within a month. This is a fun-filled, three day harp adventure, on a beautiful lake in Maine. Our days are spent playing the harp, swimming, boating, hiking, laughing(a Lot), and eating great food. The camp is geared toward beginner-intermediate players. Send me an email([email protected]) for more information.
All the best for the New Year.
Regina
On 08 October 2025, I was awarded the NH Governor's Art Award for Folk Heritage. It was an incredible honor. Here is the link to the award presentation.

Below are some highlights from 2023. Regina
We've returned from our Ireland tour and are happy to report that a good time was had by all. Our first concert was in Port Laois at the Malthouse, with Siobhan Buckley and Music Generation Laois. Seeing 50-60 harps on the stage was thrilling, and hearing them even more so. Here is the link to the Malt House article:

We continued with concerts in Killarney and Tralee(thanks to Tim O'Shea and Sam for all their help arranging these concerts); Galway (Thank you Grace Timlin for all your help and for playing with us); and our last concert was in beautiful Doolin(many thanks to Carmel Shannon for access to the Russell Cultural Center). Here is the link to our poster for the tour. One of our members, Evelyn, designed the poster and did all the graphic work. So many thanks, Evelyn.

Saturday 21 October is La na Cruite - also known as Harp Day. This event is sponsored by Harp Ireland and harpers from all around the world send Harp Ireland videos of their harp playing. We(The New England Irish Harp Orchestra) had two videos last year and have submitted two videos this year. All the videos they choose will be posted on the 21st.
