The Devil Makes Three

In the wordless communication that passes between violinist Catriona Price and harpist Esther 
Swift as they perform, the strength of their decade-long musical partnership, friendship and shared 
humour is evident. It’s this depth of connection, and tangible desire to have fun, that gives Twelfth 
Day its extra edge.
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.
Their songs 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.
In their new album Face to Face (out November 2019, and their first featuring their full band [with 
whom they play tonight]) their multi-layered influences come together to create something entirely 
individual. There’s the radio-friendly catchiness and self-proclaimed respect for Beyoncé; there’s 
the swagger and surprise of jazz and funk; there’s the precision and technique of classical. The only 
label to truly hit the high note is ‘contemporary’: Face to Face could only be made now, and only by 
Twelfth Day.

"genre-blending style that is both edgy and inventive. . . A bold, intriguing set." ★★★★The Guardian
