Lau – Live

 

Since they hit the festivals of Europe in 2007, Lau have proved themselves to be one of the exiting folk acts of the current generation.  Recognition came with the award of best group from the BBC Folk Awards, and their debut album was well received across the board.  While the studio album is excellent, the live album has everything the recorded disc has but with an added sense of fun and adventure that really shows Lau off at their best.

The trio of Kris Drever, Aidan O’Rouke  and Martin Green came together from the Edinburgh music scene, and quickly took a new approach to the traditional folk scene by writing much of their own material; the results are traditional sounding pieces that sound modern in their approach and dynamics.

The three members weave guitar, fiddle and accordion to create some memorable tunes, especially the excellent ‘The Lang Set’ and ‘Sea’, and the tunes are balanced out by Kris’ distinctive vocals on ‘Banks of Marble’ and ‘Butcher Boy’.

The Lau Live album is the perfect example of the quality of the trio – it’s full of fantastic performances throughout and highlights the strength of the individual members.  See them live if you can; if not, this is the next best thing!
