Described by Irish Music Magazine as “one of the best bands on the scene today“, The London Lasses  and Pete Quinn have released three critically acclaimed albums:

• Enchanted Lady (2007) :: “a well-balanced helping of first-class Irish music”
  Irish Music Magazine
• Track Across the Deep (2003) “The London Lasses and Pete Quinn’s emergence is vitally important, acknowledging a forgotten voice in Irish music and rebirthing it magnificently”  fRoots
• The London Lasses and Pete Quinn (2000) “One of the most remarkable releases of 2000…a fabulously vibrant debut” The Rough Guide to Irish Music

And now their fourth album, By Night & By Day (2010), in Brian Rooney’s opinion, “their best yet” pays tribute to their 10-year anniversary with the addition of Elma McElligott (Flute player) and  Brona McVittie (Vocalist, harper), who joined Karen Ryan and Elaine Conwell (Fiddlers), Maureen Linane (Accordion player) and Pete Quinn (Pianist) two years ago at the 10th Return to Camden Town Festival. The band is now very pleased that for the first time in its history all members are London-based.

The London Lasses and Pete Quinn have toured Germany with the St Patrick’s Day Celebration Festival, performed the first ever ceilidh in the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms, and played at Ireland’s longest running folk festival, Ballyshannon. They have brought their unique sound to some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and concert halls including Cambridge Folk Festival, the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Glastonbury,  Philadelphia Irish Festival and Sidmouth International Festival.

In addition to featuring on the 3-CD box set Beginner’s Guide to Ireland (Nascente, 2005), the band has appeared on UK and Irish TV including Backstage (BBC Choice), Ardán and Geantraí (TG4), plus a memorable turn on EastEnders (BBC1). The London Lasses and Pete Quinn are distributed in the UK by Proper Distribution and in Ireland by Claddagh Records.
