Why limit yourself to a label? That?s the mantra of Twelfth Day - Catriona Price and Esther Swift, two young Scottish virtuosos who offer a musically ground- breaking amalgam of chamber music, Scottish folk music, jazz-funk and electronica.

Though Twelfth Day wear their rich and varied experience with pride ? their folk roots, their classical training ? this duo are more than a simple product, an exponent, of their practice. It is their inherent curiosity, their need to understand through experimentation that compels them to create their unique, genre-bending music. Catriona and Esther challenge each other to challenge the listener. It can be heard in the way that they push their vocals far beyond the boundaries of what may be anticipated. It can be heard in the way the violin and harp surprise each other to drive the track somewhere new. It can be heard in the lyrics that invite to reassess, reimagine, reinterpret.

Their latest album Face To Face (2019) was nominated in the ?Innovation in New Traditional Music? category in the 2020 Scottish Awards for New Music. It picks up where Cracks In The Room (2017) left off, continuing to confront societal conventions by exploring a wealth of urgent current issues, such as gender roles, power balance and the challenges of working in the arts as a young woman; the threat of climate change and society?s reluctance to act; and the struggles of mental health.

???? The Guardian "genre-blending style that is both edgy and inventive. ."

????? fRoots ?a boldly brilliant record, suffused with dark humour and wildly inventive musicianship?

Folk Radio UK ?one of the most rewarding listening experiences to be placed before an audience this year.?
