Carol also performs We Shall Overcome for our audience at Glasgow's Pacific Quay.
Hen Hoose Collective perform Wipe Out, the first track from their new album, The Twelve, and Tamara and Suse Bear join Len and Carol Laula in conversation, where they discuss Hen Hoose's collaborative songwriting process which involved writing the album in one week on the Isle of Lewis, and the ethos of having a women and non-binary collective creating songs together, and they and Carol discuss ideas on how we can better empower women in the music industry following the reports on misogyny particularly in the Scottish folk scene.
