Eleanor Dunsdon & Gregor Black

Eleanor Dunsdon and Gregor Black are a Glasgow-based harp and percussion duo, who met during their postgraduate studies in Traditional Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2022. Blending traditional with contemporary, vocals and electronics, they draw on jazz, folk and classical genres to create a sound that challenges perceptions of the harp and pushes the boundaries of the traditional music scene.



Danny Kyle Open Stage winners at Glasgow's Celtic Connections and Purbeck Rising winners, the duo have been invited to perform at both festivals in 2025. The duo have featured as ‘Rising Stars’ at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival, played as FATEA’s featured artists at Southport’s Love Folk Festival, and have toured in Ireland and the UK. Selected as the United Kingdom Harp Association's Emerging Artists for 2024, they will give collaborative concerts with musicians from other disciplines in London and Glasgow in Autumn 2024. The duo's debut EP, 'Let No Man', was released on 26th April 2024 and has featured on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Scotland, RTÉ Radio 1, FATEA’s Showcase Sessions and Celtic Music Radio.
