At the forefront of the Scottish fiddle scene, RANT is a meeting of four of the country’s finest fiddle players, weaving a tapestry of melodies, textures, layers and sounds.

Bethany Reid from Shetland, Anna Massie and Lauren MacColl from the Black Isle, and Gillian Frame from the Isle of Arran join forces to showcase the combined resonance of their instruments with a repertoire drawn from classic 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.
Since the release of their debut ‘RANT’ in 2013 – which won them 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. They provided strings for Julie Fowlis’ Gach Sguel album, and their music has been used for both BBC and ITV national television programmes.

Their live set reflects years of honing their sound together and their love for the music of their respective home regions through their writing, repertoire and stories.
