Lau

The most musically adventurous trio in British folk...exquisite and hypnotic musicianship at its best' – The Guardian

Lau are modern folk music's most innovative band - brilliant musicians, thrilling performers and free-thinking visionaries. Featuring the beautiful vocals and skillful guitar playing of award winning Orcadian songwriter Kris Drever, pioneering post-everything accordion and electronics from Martin Green and the timeless masterful and melodic creativity of Scottish fiddler Aidan O’Rourke, they were voted Best Group in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards three years running – 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Their latest album ‘Race The Loser’, launched to a sold out audience as part of Lau’s very own ‘Lau Land’ festival in London last November was shortlisted for Album Of The Year by BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and featured in MOJO magazine and fROOTS Best Albums of 2012. Lau have received glowing reviews from international music and arts critics for their live concert performances and were invited to play two tracks from ‘Race The Loser’ on ‘Later... with Jools Holland’ (BBC2 TV).

Lau have long established themselves as one of the most sought after and creative live acts performing today – a must see experience.

‘This is music of such stunning creativity – one of most thrilling live bands, now one of most thrilling studio bands as well – what phrase, what note can possibly be coming next?’ – Sunday Herald
