FOUR of Scotland’s finest fiddle players will take to the stage in Cardigan when the critically-acclaimed Rant perform at Theatr Mwldan.
Four fiddles- one beautiful sound – Rant are a huge musical force and a strong, raw, yet vibrant sound on the British folk scene who will be performing on Sunday, April 30 at 7.30pm following the release of their well-received album Reverie.
Nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Rant is the meeting of two fiddle players from the Shetland Islands and two from the Highlands. Bethany Reid, Jenna Reid, Sarah-Jane Summers and Lauren MacColl unite and, using just their fiddles, weave a tapestry of melodies, textures, layers and sounds.
Since the release of their debut album 'RANT' in 2013 which won them critical acclaim in the form of a Herald Angel Award for outstanding performance across all the Edinburgh Festivals, the band have made major festival and concert appearances across the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia, and recorded strings for Julie Fowlis on her latest album 'Gach Sgeul'.
Their new release (Reverie, 2016) sees them continue this song strand, collaborating with Fowlis once more and, for the first time, Scots singer Ewan McLennan.
Tickets to see Rant are £14 (£12) and can be booked online or via mobile by visiting www.mwldan.co.uk, or directly with Mwldan’s box office 01239 621 200.
