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."
