Màiri Chaimbeul

Young Harper, Màiri Chaimbeul, draws deeply on the Gaelic roots in performances of traditional and original music and song. A finalist in BBC Young Traditional Musician 2010/2011 and in Young Jazz Musician 2012, she is also influenced by jazz, world, classical and improvised music.

 

 

 

Twelfth Day

Esther Swift (harp/vocals) from the Scottish Borders and Orcadian Catriona Price (fiddle/vocals) formed the duo Twelfth Day while studying music in Manchester. Now at the forefront of British Folk music, they interweave masterful harp and fiddle playing with beautifully harmonised vocals, releasing their highly acclaimed debut album Northern Quarter in 2010.

“Beautiful, dynamic, stylish—that’s the music and the musicians! An exciting up and coming act on the folk scene.” Catriona McKay
