Laura is one of the most creative young musicians to emerge from the UK in recent years. Her music celebrates and innovates the rich traditions of jazz and folk music, digging into something primal and earthy. She leads the Mercury-nominated band Dinosaur who have performed at North Sea, Montreal and Molde International Jazz festivals to name a few. 

A highly active composer, she has been commissioned by the likes of the BBC Proms and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, Ligeti Quartet and the Northern Sinfonia. Laura recently received a prestigious Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Composers as well as a 2019 Ivor Composer Award.

“Simply stupendous ... a glorious, shifting collage of sound.”
