Catrin Finch talks to Carys Eleri

Notes to Self

Hay Festival 2026, 

Spend the afternoon in the company of Welsh harpist Catrin Finch, as she performs a series of reflective new tracks composed for her 13-year-old self. Finch’s Notes to Self is her first album of solo compositions in a decade, and contains accompanying letters that underscore her personal journey and experiences as a gay woman, a cancer survivor, a sister, daughter and mother.

Following her performance Finch, who served as Royal Harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales in her early 20s, will discuss the creative process and the realisation of her new work with actor, singer and writer Carys Eleri.
