The band consists of Alex Wotherspoon on piano, Laura Penman on harp, Anna Robertson on fiddle, Eleanor Tout on whistle and Emma Hill on bagpipes. Being a part of the traditional music scene in Glasgow, the girls are driven to bring their traditional and folk arrangements to a broader audience in the upcoming months.
