Rachel Newton & Lauren MacColl (Heal & Harrow)

Music Doors: 7:15 pm Show Starts: 8:00 pm £17

Rachel Newton (The Furrow Collective) and Lauren MacColl (Rant) are firmly established as two of the country’s most celebrated folk musicians. They collaborated on each other’s solo projects for many years before co-producing their award winning project Heal & Harrow, based on the Scottish Witch Trials. They are delighted to be offering a duo show that encompasses their vast back catalogue of shared material, both from their solo works from albums such as Haar, Landskein (Lauren), Sealladh and To the Awe (Rachel) and acoustic versions of music from the Heal & Harrow live show.

The 16th and 17th Century Scottish Witch Trials were one of the darkest periods of Scotland’s history. An estimated 2500 people were executed, 80% of which were thought to have been women.

Each piece of music is based on specially commissioned works by celebrated author Mairi Kidd – tales inspired by and in remembrance of real women who were persecuted and tried as witches, and characters from the folkloric tales and mythology enshrined in our oral culture.
