Sheila Bromberg

Sheila Bromberg was born in London in 1928. Bromberg was a harpist who performed with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the BBC Concert Orchestra, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. She is best known, however, for playing on the song "She's Leaving Home", from the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club. Bromberg also recorded with Dusty Springfield, Frank Sinatra, and the Bee Gees, and on the soundtracks of two James Bond movies.

Sheila Bromberg died in 2021 at the age of 92.

I was thinking it’d be hard for Denna from the Kingkiller Chronicles to travel as she plays a large harp that’s really heavy to carry. Pedal harps can weigh up to 36 kilograms. That’s a huge weight for a sixteen year old girl to lift. Does she earn enough to pay for someone to help her move her harp, given that she travels so often? Removalist fees for moving your belongings to your new home can be expensive.
