Overview
Inspired by poetry from her homeland of Orkney, Catriona Price’s debut album Hert (Orcadian Scots for ‘heart’) explores the contrasting perspectives that make up the rich tapestry of Orkney life, drawing light upon the non-stereotypical characters – those that may not immediately spring to mind when thinking of a small island community.
Featuring a band of nine musicians, Catriona’s music draws influence from Scottish folk, jazz, pop and western art music.
Hert was released to critical acclaim in 2023 with a launch at Celtic Connections and sold out show at Edinburgh International Festival.
“A celebration of the joy of performing with friends”
– Edinburgh Arts Review ★★★★★
“Vivid aural collage”
