Kathryn Tickell presents a live session from Maida Vale featuring fiddle player Laura Wilkie and guitarist Ian Carr. Originally from Tain in the Highlands, Laura is a sought-after musician rooted in the Highland fiddle tradition, with influences ranging across a wide spectrum of genres. Ian Carr, an acclaimed English folk guitarist and composer, is known for his distinctive, innovative approach to traditional music. Together, they perform selections from Laura鈥檚 latest album, Vent, which draws inspiration from ancient waulking songs - traditional work songs sung by women in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland as they rhythmically beat tweed to soften and shrink it. Reimagined here as instrumental fiddle pieces, these melodies retain the songs鈥� original spirit of community, strength, humour, and shared knowledge.
