which has roots in the Highland fddle traditions but is infuenced by an
eclectic range of music from all genres
Vent is centered around ancient women's work songs - waulking songs. Laura
studied these to adapt them for the fddle, immersing herself in the Scottish
archives as well as having them passed on from friend, tradition bearer and onewoman- ceilidh: Rona Lightfoot. The album explores the melodies of these
ancient waulking songs and how they have individually and communally provided
a sense of safety, shared knowledge, power, love, humour and freedom to not
only rural working women's communities but to Laura as a non Gaelic speaker.
Vent features an array of amazing talent including: Ian Carr on guitars/
harmonium; Sarah Hayes on keys/ fute/ vocals; Joe Rattray on bass; Rachel
Sermanni on vocals; Hannah Read on electric guitar; and Alice Allen on cello as
well a improvised vocal samples by Pippa Blundell, Hannah Findlay, Gillian
Fleetwood, Rona Lightfoot and Imogen Macleod.
