LAU are a brand new trio pulling together their influences which span a triangle covering most of the UK, from the west coast of Scotland, up and across to Orkney and down to the east of England. The combination is a modern sound with all the depths of these traditions backing it up.
Aidan O'Rourke, Martin Green and Kris Drever have a wealth of experience and finesse which give them license to play with a rare freedom. Despite the traditional music tag their combined efforts make something new.
