Laura & Ian are two leading figures in today’s contemporary traditional music world. Their performances centre around Laura’s debut album ‘Vent’, released on Hudson Records; a deep,immaculately researched dive into ancient women’s work songs (also known as ‘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 tear the tunes apart, stitch them together again, and tease them into new
shapes and textures with passion and humour.
The concert will kick off at 7.30 with a performance by Arisaig's finest up-and-coming fiddle players: Freya Kenning & Lola Foster.
