The Duplets describe themselves as plucky, harpy, singy, harmonious, lots of fingers and lovely tunes! Freya Thomsen and Gillian Fleetwood have been friends and harp buddies for a good long time. They play Scottish traditional music, songs and their own compositions with flair, energy and enthusiasm.
Abagail Grey's vocalists Claire Campbell, Steve Obern and Teresa Bendoris deliver the songs through strong melodies and melting harmonies. Freya Thompson and Gillian Fleetwood provide serene elegance and top class musicianship on their harp’s whilst Dougie and Ally Brown give subtle yet powerful backline on bass, drums and percussion. All this is solidified by Songwriter Claire Campbell who fronts the band with vocals, piano, guitar and fiddle.
