Sheila Bromberg

She also performed in the orchestra for the London run of the musical Phantom of the Opera, and she played harp on two James Bond films in the 1960s, Dr. No and Goldfinger.

In addition, she earned regular wages as a session musician for popular artists such as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, the Bee Gees, Dusty Springfield, and Sammy Davis Jr.[1][4] In March 1967, Bromberg was hired to play the harp on the Abbey Road studio recording of "She's Leaving Home", one of the songs on the Beatles' Sgt.

This made her the second woman to appear on a Beatles song, the first having been Joy Hall—mistakenly credited as "John" Hall—who a number of weeks earlier had played cello on "Strawberry Fields Forever".

[4][6] She was a member of the BBC's Top of the Pops orchestra in the 1960s and 1970s, considered to be England's most popular music television program during that time period.

[1] Bromberg was an orchestra regular on the highly rated British television show Morecambe and Wise, and she also appeared in many commercials as well as in a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch, where she played the harp in a wheelbarrow.
