A decade on from their first performance, and with three acclaimed albums under their belt, Rant remain at the forefront of the Scottish fiddle scene. The meeting of four of the country’s finest players, the quartet use just their fiddles to weave a tapestry of melodies, textures, layers and sounds. We can’t wait to see them here at the Mananan!
Bethany Reid from Shetland, Anna Massie and Lauren MacColl from the Highland peninsula of the Black Isle, and latest member Gillian Frame from Arran join forces to showcase the combined resonance of their instruments with repertoire unearthed from both old collections and their own contemporary writing. Rant create a sound which is both spacious and lush yet retaining all the earthy bite and spark synonymous with a Scottish fiddle player.
