BIO
The Laurettes are an up and coming Scottish band made up of all female musicians and have been described as a ‘Powerful Indie Folk Fusion band with a Celtic Rock twist.’ The girls are an energetic all female band making big noise around Scotland, the UK and very soon to be further afield. The Laurettes have frequented most major Scottish festivals such as MainStage at Belladrum, Hebcelt, TMF & Floors Castle. The girls have been sought after support act for numerous well established musicians in the industry such as Jess Glynne, Peat & Diesel and Skerryvore. They have become well known and cherished for their ‘electric positive vibes’, alongside their energy and ability to get the full crowd involved in their performances.
Audiences can be seen doing the ‘HEAVE HO’ to ‘Techno Viking’ and ‘Jivin’ and Vibin’ to ‘Dopamine’ and many more original songs. The girls successes became known after winning BT Murrayfield’s Scottish Playlist 2021 and playing to over 60,000 Rugby fans, when their debut single ‘Home Bird’ reached no1 multiple times in the Amazon charts after radio play on BBC stations, Celtic Music Radio and many more! 2025 will see the girls 2nd Winter tour and big plans to travel further afield breaking into the States.
The Ginger Quiff Review
- 'THE LAURETTES CERTAINLY HAVE FIRE IN THEIR BELLIES!'
Their demand, their vociferous appetite for playing live, and the fact that they are genuinely living their best lives..
Finally reaching the end of festival season at the weekend, Lauren and Lynette were taking some time out, probably no more than a day or two, or even an hour or two, I should wager, to stop and breathe after a summer that saw them playing across every inch of these shores.
There you have it, a band that never stops, living in the moment, for the moment and loving life. What’s not to love?
​
What about that single Witches then?
The Laurettes certainly have a fire in their bellies, a flame ignited by indignant rage at the outrageously cruel and unjust trials that resulted in the lubricious death of countless innocent women. As The Laurettes said in their interview, they have a voice, and they’re damned well going to use it. Their incensed frustration is portrayed in the vigorously spirited performance of Witches. “Hell has no fury like a woman scorned” they sing as they curse the accusers “set fire to the jury, we witches never burn”. The drums bring the musical thunder as the divine harmonies, fiddle and acoustic guitar blended with subtle electric riffs CHANNEL FLEETWOOD MAKE TAKES ON THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA. If this is an indication of what we can expect from the album, then we’re in for a treat.

North Berwick
Wow. We are on cloud nine after this gig in North Berwick. We always walk away in complete awe of the Peat & Diesel Crowds but this gig hit different, it's one we won't forget! The energy in this room felt like fireworks and we're so grateful to be given the opportunity to play infant of so many wonderfully bonkers like minded party people.
​
Thank you to everyone for making this crazy journey possible! Especially to the one & only..our good pals, Peat & Diesel.
Barrowlands
What a buzz at the barras! An incredible honour to be invited up onstage for P&D's last few songs & encore. It made complete sense for us to fire on our boiler suits & heels for the occasion and give it (in true boydie fashion) .. absolute LALDY for the masses.
