Born in Bagillt, North Wales, Glenda has been playing the harp since the age of ten. Her early achievements include successes at the Urdd and National Eisteddfod during her teens.

She went on to study harp and performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with Ann Griffiths and during this time she received the prestigious Pernod award in recognition of her work as an Ambassador of the harp. She played the harp regularly for tourists from around the world who visited the Capital. At Cardiff Castle and other city venues. She also traveled to Stuttgart, Germany for the twining ceremony with Cardiff.

In her early twenties she released her first album ‘Romanza’. During this time she worked extensively abroad and at home for the Wales Tourist Board and the British Tourist Authority promoting Wales with visits to Europe and Minneapolis St Paul in the USA as well as throughout the UK including top London venues.

On her return to the UK she embarked on a career as a TV presenter for the Welsh Channel 4 and famously became the First welsh speaking weather girl in the early nineties.

Throughout her career as a professional harpist she has performed for Royalty, appeared on t.v. and radio, played at most major UK concert venues alongside eminent choirs and soloists, performed in touring shows and played in orchestras.

In 2006, following further study with harpist Caryl Thomas, her next album of classical harp music ‘Hafan’ was released and played nationally with t.v. and radio appearances.
