Unfortunately Laura has an injury and has had to pull out of the tour.

Eilidh Shaw will accompany Ian.

Eilidh Shaw is a Scottish fiddle player & singer from Taynuilt, Argyll. Her west highland fiddle style is beautifully wild and uniquely innovative. She has toured extensively with The Poozies and Harem Scarem 
She recorded her acclaimed solo fiddle album, Heepirumbo in 1997 with Ian Carr 
It is still lauded as a classic of its genre. Eilidh joined legendary Acid Croft pioneers Shooglenifty in 2018 to take the role of fiddler in the band after Angus R. Grant, who died in 2016. Shooglenifty continue to dazzle audiences at festivals and venues across the globe today.

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, stitching them together again, teasing them into new shapes and textures with passion and humour.
