Modern folk duo to play Bridgwater Arts Centre next month
8:56am Wednesday 8th August 2012 in Somerset
MODERN British folk music duo Twelfth Day play Bridgwater Arts Centre on Friday, September 7, at 8pm.
With a fresh open-minded approach to song and tune writing, the pair create an entirely unique sound, interweaving masterful fiddle and harp playing with harmonised vocals in stylish and dynamic arrangements. From opposite ends of Scotland, Orcadian Catriona Price (fiddle/vocals) and Esther Swift (harp/vocals) who comes from the Scottish Borders released their highly acclaimed debut album Northern Quarter in July 2010.
Twelfth Day have toured widely in the UK and Ireland and in 2009, their track, ‘Fare Thee Well’, was selected by Channel 4 for a short film by the makers of the hit show, Skins. Following the release of Fiere, their collaborative album with Joy Dunlop in May 2012, Twelfth Day’s new EP, ‘Speak From the Start’, is due out in September.
Tickets for the performance are £12/£10 concs, available on 01278-422700 and at www.bridgwaterartscentre.co.uk
