About Me

Welcome to my page :) I'm Laura! I play fiddle and have just started to finally sing... (watch your eardrums!)I played with Swingin' fiddles for a good few years and was lucky enough to travel many places touring including Canada, Australia and America.I enjoy playing music which is just that little bit different and I tend to make my own style and interpret tunes in a 'laura-way'! I won the Shetland Young Fiddler of The Year award and think I'm lucky to come from Shetland where the music is simply great. The good old Shetland folk festival had a lot to do with my motivation to keep practising when I first started the fiddle all those many moons ago - by far the best festival...so get there!Currently playing with the Pictones in Aberdeen and have started a new little band with Simon Gall and Davie Cattanagh so watch this space! :)I compose a lot of tunes and have recently started writing songs so I'll get some up at some point... once I finally figure out how to work this site...! I'm currently in Aberdeen studying but love to pop home to Shetland and off to festivals here, there and everywhere! Layout Stealer by MyspaceLayoutSpy.com. ..
