ABBY TWIGGER
COMPOSER & SONGWRITER
The Bridgewater Hall, Classic FM, UCB2, Aberdeen Music Hall
Hello, it's Abby!
I am an emerging composer living in North-East Scotland. I love home, hot chocolate and travelling, and I love to write music!​
​
I am both a performer and a composer. I write for choirs, orchestra, children and to sing myself. In Summer 2023 I released my first songs to streaming, released a debut album for Christmas 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! It was a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competiton, and the SATB arrangement was shortlisted for the Sir David Willcocks Carol Competition.
​
We arranged the piece for choir, brass and strings especially for Grampian Hospitals Christmas Concert at Aberdeen Music Hall 2024.
We were commissioned to write a piece to finish the Lamb of God UK 2025 concerts, and wrote 'Awake My Soul' for 100-strong choir and full orchestra orchestra, performed at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, 14-15th March 2025. It reached an audience of 5000 across the three concerts.
​
I sing tenor in the Aberdeen Chorus of Sweet Adelines, and in the new barbershop quartet, Rough Diamonds.
​
I am currently writing a Requiem for choir, strings and oboe.
​
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 have always loved to sing; I was in a girls choir growing up, chapel evensong while at uni and I now sing women's barbershop. 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, my faith, stuff I've heard, I notice it all and stash it away for future use...
