​MUSIC: An Evening with Lau

Lau are a pioneering contemporary folk trio comprising three of the UK’s finest traditional musicians: Kris Drever (vocals, guitar), Martin Green (accordion, wurlitzer, keys, electronics) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle). 

Lau have picked up four awards for ‘Best Group’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and appeared on TV on Later…With Jools Holland (BBC 2 TV).

Playing two unique live sets, featuring all their greatest material from across the last decade. Lau continue to effortlessly bridge the seemingly diametrically opposed worlds of acoustic folk tradition, classical composition, pop song and electronica.

“Lau are a remarkable band — the most musically adventurous trio in British folk exquisite and hypnotic, musicianship at its best” (The Guardian)

Album of The Year 2015 Sunday Herald
Shortlisted for Scottish Album of The Year (SAY Award) 2013 & 2016

The individual members of Lau have all won multiple awards and recognition for their solo work and in February 2017, Kris Drever was nominated for Folk Singer of The Year 2017 and Best Original Song 2017 by BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2017, whilst Martin Green was nominated for Best Original Song and Best Album 2017, the ceremony taking place at The Royal Albert Hall April 2017. A new Lau release is scheduled for June 2017 (more details coming soon). An Evening with Lau presents a band at the peak of their powers and is one live show not to be missed.

MUSIC: The Lovely Eggs*

*with support from Spat

The Lovely Eggs are an underground surreal-psych punk rock duo from northern England. They have a fierce ethos that music should have no rules.

For Holly and David, being in a band is a way of life. True to this , they live the way they play - fiercely, constantly, in search of the good times.

With 8/10 thumbs up from the NME and much support from BBC6 Music and Radio 1, the band continues to sell out gigs across the UK without the help of management, booking agent or record label support.

With six BBC 6 Music sessions under their belt, as well as sessions for Radio 1 and XFM, The Lovely Eggs have enjoyed huge support from BBC 6 Music with airplay from DJs Marc Riley, Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, Chris Hawkins, Gideon Coe, Shaun Keavney and Radcliffe and Maconie.

Their songs have been produced by Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), remixed by Tinder Singh (Cornershop) and sampled by Zane Lowe for Scrubius Pip. With releases in the UK, Europe, USA and Japan, The Lovely Eggs have played around the UK, USA and Europe.

With observational and often surreal lyrics about life, The Lovely Eggs have a powerful, stripped-down sound: one vintage guitar amp, One Big Muff distortion pedal, a guitar and drum kit.

They have produced four albums, the latest ‘This Is Our Nowhere' was self-recorded in an abandoned factory in their hometown of Lancaster. Its title sums up their celebration and love of a scene which doesn’t exist in the eyes of the manufactured mainstream. Ironically, the record received 8/10 in the NME and received massive support from DJs across the board at BBC6 Music as as well as sell out tours of the UK.

The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands on the British Underground Music Scene. Welcome to their world...

  
“One of the countries most beloved underground bands.”
(NME)

“You wont hear another band like this anywhere between now and the end of the millenium. The Lovely Eggs are just brilliant.”
(Huw Stephens, Radio 1)
