***Making their London debut at Kings Place, Cala are a Scottish post-traditional band from Inverness. Their second album sets a new standard, reflecting the development of their distinct and adventurous style – eclectic, bold and unapologetic contemporary folk.*** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Cala** grew up together in Inverness, Scotland, and released their debut album *From the River* in 2023.
