Two leading figures in today’s contemporary traditional music world. Their performances centre around Laura’s album ‘Vent’ – a deep, immaculately researched dive into women’s work songs (Waulking songs) from the Outer Hebrides.

Relishing the chance to transform this material on the concert stage, and gleefully tearing into blistering high octane original compositions, their performances fly by, such is the rich variation in tempo and mood, as they take the tunes apart, stitch them together again, teasing them into new shapes and textures with passion and humour.

Laura has toured across the world in various different groups and artists within the contemporary folk music scene, including Kinnaris Quintet, guitar-virtuoso Ian Carr, Ross Ainslie, Salsa Celtica, NITEWORKS and with Scots Singers, Claire Hastings, Beth Malcolm & Siobhan Miller.

As a founding member of Glasgow-based Jazz/Funk/R&B/Synth/Folk Juggernaut, Fat-Suit, Laura has been inspired to play with elements of improvisation in different styles, making her a versatile influence on each project. Collaborations include performing, writing and arranging with top bands and artists including Shooglenifty, Man of the Minch, Rachel Sermanni, The Elephant Sessions, Paul Towndrow’s Keywork Orchestra, Fatherson, GRIT Orchestra and many more.

Now is the time for Laura to shine in her own right and demonstrate what a versatile, creative and adept artist she is.
