Annie Priest moved to Sheffield in 2023 and has since been writing songs in homage to people and places close to their heart. Whether it’s their smoking drinking nun of a grandmother or the friend who marched at Pride ’85 alongside the miners, Annie tells gentle stories of love and hope, whilst calling us to take on the baton and continue the fight – for rights, for progress, and for peace. Expect lilting melodies accompanied by fingerpicking on a rusty electric guitar.

Single Released!

EP Launch Gig – 1st Nov

The Third Twin – EP Coming Soon

Anna (aka Annie), Martha and Ellie have been friends since day dot. Although Anna and Martha are biological twins, Ellie was often mistaken as their triplet throughout childhood, and when they first performed as a group ‘The Third Twin’ was born.

Since Sixth Form, they’ve taken different paths. Martha ended up in Brighton as a lawyer, Ellie stayed on in Sheffield after finishing her MA in Music Therapy, and now works in social care. Anna has been around the houses but is now happily settled in Sheffield, just up the road from Ellie – and has been, very gradually, building up a song collection. 

Anna’s dream was to record an EP, and Ellie and Martha quickly came on board, followed by Els – an old friend from University. Ellie’s dad died tragically in 2022, and we wanted to dedicate this album to his memory. We know she’s made you proud, Chris. 

We are holding a launch gig in Sheffield, get your tickets above! As well as hearing ‘The Third Twin’ live, in its entirety, you’ll get to enjoy one-off performances of other music from Annie and bandmates in various combinations.

P.S. Anna’s always had a vision of a stage name – Annie Priest. Annie, because that’s what their family call them, and Priest as a nod to their mum’s family.
