LL25 **NEW RELEASE**
“There is great life and energy in the music from start to finish and it’s wonderful to see past members joining the current group for this celebratory recording.” Neansaí Ní Choisdealbha, Head of Music, RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta
‘The London Lasses’s “25th Anniversary Album” is a brilliant bit of music. The musicianship is off the charts good and each track is put together with the sort of sophistication that comes with the experience of longstanding practice. If you love traditional music with strong vision, give this one a close listen – it’ll be time very well spent. ‘ Dan Neely, The Irish Echo (New York)
‘A solid traditional sound from fiddles, flutes, banjo, button box, pipes and concertina is spiced by saxophone, harp, and inventive piano accompaniment on several tracks, making this both an exciting new album and a valued addition to London’s long history of Irish music.’ Alex Monaghan, Irish Music Magazine
