ABBY TWIGGER
COMPOSER & SONGWRITER
Hello, it's Abby!
I am an emerging composer living in North-East Scotland. I love home, hot chocolate and travelling, and in 2022 I discovered I also love to write music!​
​
I am both a performer and a composer. I write for choirs, works for orchestra, and songs for any occasion! In Summer 2023 I released my first songs to streaming, released my debut album for Christmas 2023 with co-writer Sam Petchey, and our piece 'The Lamb' for women's chorus won the Making Music Classic FM Carol competition and was broadcast by Margarita Taylor on Classic FM Drive on 22nd December - my first radio play!
​
We arranged the piece for choir, brass and strings especially for NHS Hospitals Christmas Concert at Aberdeen Music Hall.
​
I was commissioned to write the encore for the Lamb of God UK 2025 concerts, and wrote 'Awake My Soul' for choir and orchestra, performed at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, 14-15th March 2025.
​
I sing tenor in the new Sweet Adelines barbershop quartet, Rough Diamonds.
​
My Story
I was born in South-East England, the eldest of six children, and we all played instruments and sang. My Dad used to take us all busking on the streets of Ipswich at Christmas! I've always loved to sing; I was in a girls choir growing up, chapel evensong while at uni and I'm now in a barbershop chorus. Joining the chorus after years of not doing much musically and being a Mum full-time ignited a love of writing music.
​
I write about everything I think about - being human and all the feelings that come with it, love, friendship, stuff that's real, stuff I've heard, I notice it all and stash it away for future use...
