Any Objections? Scarlett Smith - The Bristol Harpist - Episode 465

What happens when a harp refuses to behave and a comedian decides to put it on trial? 🎭🎶 In this episode of The Martin Talk Show, you’ll discover how to smash creative stereotypes, remix tradition, and turn your art into a bold declaration of identity and joy. ✨🔥I’m Martin Colton, and in this episode I sit down with the electric force of nature that is Scarlett Smith, electro-acoustic harpist, comedian, and glorious rule-breaker behind the show “Any Objections?” 🎤⚡🎵Scarlett isn’t your typical harpist. In fact, she’ll be the first to tell you she probably isn’t what you think a harpist is at all. With 12+ years of professional experience and over 150 five-star reviews, she has transformed a so-called “demure” classical instrument into a beat-dropping, loop-station-powered party starter. From Pop and Rock to Hip Hop, EDM, Disney, Film and Video Game scores, she takes songs you know and flips them into shimmering, harp-driven revelations that make audiences say, “Wait… I know this!” 🎧🎮🎬Her debut solo show “Any Objections?” is a surreal, high-energy quest to prove the harp belongs far beyond the orchestra pit. Expect live looping, indie-pop jingles, wedding industry confessions, a fateful boat trip, an interactive gameshow, and punchlines that land with perfect rhythm. 🎭🚤🎉 It’s chaos meeting creativity in the most delightful way.Based in Bristol but ready to travel anywhere adventure calls, Scarlett has played everything from weddings to corporate events, and even organised over 100 socially distanced community concerts during lockdown. 🌈💍🌍 As a proudly queer-owned business, she celebrates LGBTQIA+ love fiercely and champions inclusivity, representation, and accessibility in every space she enters. Her passion for diverse storytelling and creative innovation radiates through everything she does.In this conversation, we go beyond the performance. We explore identity, reinvention, the courage to challenge tradition, and what it really means to carve your own artistic lane. If you’re an artist, performer, or creative thinker hungry to push boundaries, this episode will strike a chord deep within you. 🎼💡🔥Find Scarlett: https://www.bristolharpist.co.ukAs always, connect with Martin via: www.themartintalkshow.com#TheMartinTalkShow #MartinColton #ScarlettSmith #AnyObjections #Harpist #ElectroAcoustic #ComedyShow #CreativeJourney #ArtistsLife #MusiciansOfYouTube #TheatreMakers #IndieArtists #WeddingPerformer #LGBTQIAOwnedBusiness #InclusiveCreativity #LiveLooping #ModernHarp #PodcastInterview #CreativeConversations #ArtsAndCulture #PerformingArts #BristolArtist #IndependentCreators #MusicInnovation #StandUpComedy #CreativeCommunity #FilmAndMusic #DanceAndTheatre #PushBoundaries #UnlockCreativity
