Welcome to the
Myspace of Liesje
Hi! I'm Liesje.
I live in Utrecht (the Netherlands) where I study Celtic Studies at the Utrecht University. Besides that I love to play music. I started playing the harp at the age of 10 and during highschool I studied two years at the conservatory of Tilburg. After that I decided that it would bring me more joy to play my own music, but it was a very instructive experience for me and it gave me a good start to develop my own style. In 2006 I also started to play the hudy-gurdy, a medieval-based instrument.
Nowadays I play in different ensembles: the theatergroup Kelten zonder Grenzen , in the balfolkband Orfeo , the folkband Swaeluwe , the doomballband Ball Noir and in the medieval band Datura .
Besides that I am interested in historical handcrafting. I try to knit and to spin (although I really suck at this) and someday I hope to grow my own garden with plants to dye my own wool. It's sad there's only 7 days in a week... Oh, and I also love to read, to play bordgames and to drink belgian beers and irish whiskey.
Slainte!
