Anybody who can play a standard harp and sing at the same time is good from my perspective. When they can get (and hold) my attention singing a lengthy song in “olde English” some of which is a little baffling to me, then they are really special.
“The Lady of Shalott” has undergone a number of changes over its considerable lifespan, but I believe Tennyson (the apparent original author) would be very happy to hear Loreena McKennitt’s take on his poem.
A New Direction Perhaps? 
Ahh, The Lady of Shallot! Now I want to read some poetry. 🙂
Lovely voice and I always like the harp!

Yes Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote the poem. My Dad would read poetry to us as children and Tennyson was among the writers he chose. A lovely version. I am very fond of the Harp and as you say to play and sing is a wonderful talent to be admired.
