'Doctor Who's Day Roundup: Two Hearts, Two Harps
Welcome to this week's Doctor Who's Day roundup, an intergalactic gumbo made from the finest fandom ingredients from the last week or so on social media and the internet.
And we begin this week with something rather special. Camille and Kennerly are twin sisters who play harp duets under the apt name of the Harp Twins. They cover a lot of hard rock songs—"Sweet Child O' Mine", "Stairway to Heaven" and so forth—but this week, as part of a collaboration with renowned Welsh harpist Robin Huw Bowen, they recorded a version of a tune dear to the hearts of Whovians everywhere.
It starts just after their version of the traditional Welsh melody Ar Hyd y Nos, also known as "All Through the Night":

They do have some form, having released an official version, from 2013:

And while we're on the topic, how about another reimagined version of the Who theme? This one has been given a swooshy makeover by Myztic Muzic:
