Clive Morley Harps

Clive Morley

Clive is the driving force behind Morley Harps – and he is showing no signs of slowing down! He is committed to supporting the harp in the UK and, by making it possible for new generations of harpists to play high quality, affordable instruments, he is a key figure in the harp’s recent return to popularity.

Clive has worked closely with harp teachers and colleges of music over the years – most recently, he founded the London Harp Competition.

Kate Morley

Kate keeps us all organised and makes sure that Goodfellows is such a lovely environment to visit.

She is responsible for publishing the “Clive Morley Collection” of historical harp sheet music.

Ben Morley

Previously employed in IT & Telecoms, Ben joined the family business in 2002.

As part of his apprenticeship for the “Worshipful Company of Musicians”, Ben worked in the old Morley Piano Factory in London while growing up. With this hands on experience of musical instruments, he quickly learnt to regulate and service harps in the Aoyama harp factory in Japan.

Ben is involved with the day to day running of the business.

An accomplished harpist, Ruth joined us full time in January 2009 to look after our customers and to offer help and advice on all aspects of purchasing a harp from us.
