Mary O'Hara -- Irish Harpist and Singer


"To summarize the life and times of a great artist in a few paragraphs is often quite difficult.

The life and times of singer-harpist and writer Mary O'Hara
probably needs the breadth of wide screen cinema and the intimacy of a close friend revealing their innermost thoughts to give some idea of a truly remarkable career."

  1. Dear Mary
    I have just started reading your book "The Scent of Roses" for the third time ever since I received this from my husband when it was first published. Nice to see that you are living in Arran now, you are very lucky. I have never been but know a few people who have, including our daughter. They all say it is beautiful.
    God Bless for now.

  2. Thanks for leaving such a wonderful message for Mary.

    I thoroughly enjoyed her book as well but have only borrowed it from the library ... I'd love to find a hard cover copy to purchase.

    Best wishes Christina!
