Jenn Butterworth and Laura-Beth Salter at Edinburgh FC / EFC
Jenn and Laura-Beth have each been a presence on the UK folk scene for a number of years. Although both originally from England, they were brought together by the close-knit and progressive Glasgow folk music community, spending lots of their time jamming an eclectic mix of folk music from across the globe, particularly the UK, Scandinavia and America. The years of playing together brought a deep affinity between the two artists; their rhythms lock tightly, their voices blend so closely that its often hard to tell them apart. They have developed a natural telepathy: two musicians bound together. Their first duo album Bound named in recognition of this enduring connection was released in November 2016, and Jenn and L-B are currently working on material for their second album
Jenn Butterworth is one of the UKs leading folk accompanists, and was awarded Musician of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards, and nominated for the same category in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Laura-Beth Salter takes influence from the Oldtime and Bluegrass music that her parents played whilst she was growing up in Lincolnshire. After spending time studying a Traditional Music Degree in Newcastle-on-Tyne she became heavily involved in the folk scene. She is a founding member of The Shee and her most recent collaborations involve Shooglenifty and The MacLean Project led by the Dougie MacLean.
As well as touring with their duo, Jenn and Laura-Beth are also members of Kinnaris Quintet, the five-strong band of vigorous, driving, high-spirited musicians.

Accessibility
UCC has relatively easy access for wheelchair users. There's a portable ramp to enable the wheelchair to get past 3-4 steps from the street to the main door. Once inside everything is on the same level (ground floor) - performance room, bar and disabled-friendly toilets.
