Lau

Detailed Description

RELEASED 28th APRIL 2008. Limited Edition, Gatefold, Orange Coloured Vinyl with Bonus CD (Limited to 500 Copies worldwide). Also includes extra track on Vinyl not found anywhere else (Remix by Dolphin Boy "Butcher Boy"). Recorded Live at the Bongo Club, Edinburgh, Dec 17th 2007.

Lau is a formidable union of three of the finest and most innovative exponents of modern traditional music: Kris Drever (guitar and vocal), Martin Green (piano accordion) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle). Together, their explosive live performances have been generating a major buzz around the UK folk circuit but theirs is now a world-wide party. Lau are the product of a highly creative Edinburgh music scene in which musicians often play with different bands and experiment stylistically.

Scottish fiddler O’Rouke and guitarist Drever teamed up with charismatic Green, a Scotland-based Englishman probably best known for his work with Eliza Carthy. Together, Lau have taken a new approach to the folk scene by writing much of their own material, creating complex and melodic compositions which change as the emphasis shifts between their three instruments; moody or frantic accordion interwoven with driving fiddle and guitar.
