They performed at Scotland’s most prominent entertainment venue, the OVO Hydro, in front of a crowd of 10,000.

The Laurettes are a four-piece Scottish band made up of all female musicians. They have been described as a ‘Powerful Indie Folk Fusion band with a Celtic Rock twist.’ The girls are making big noise around Scotland and the UK.
They have become well known and cherished for their ‘electric positive vibes’, alongside their energy and ability to get the full crowd involved, including over 60,000 Rugby fans at Murrayfield.
