Details:
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.
