I received this from Lil Milanovich from Kaleidoscope Promotions, (519) 763-7628.
The Scottish traditional band, LAU will be playing The Stage, 33 MacDonell St., Guelph on Sunday June 8, 2008. Doors: 7:30 p.m. Concert 8.00 p.m. Tickets: $20, from Ground Floor Music (Quebec St.) and The Wee Scottish Shop (Fergus). Out of town reservations (519)763-7628
This is going to be Lau’s only small venue show in Canada should definitely be of interest to anyone who loves traditional celtic music. LAU are Kris Drever (guitar, vocals), Martin Green (piano accordion) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle), three of the finest and most innovative exponents of modern traditional music in Scotland today.
This band has buzz . Lau were Winner of “Best Group” at the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards (2008). They were also nominees for “Best Album” & “Best Live Act” at the BBC Folk Awards 2008 and the 2007 Scottish Traditional Music Awards.
In the last year and a half, they have become one of the most sought-after acts on the current Scottish scene as well as at festivals worldwide. Their debut album is “Lightweights and Gentlemen”.
