PIONEERING contemporary folk trio Lau play Southampton's Turner Sims tonight.
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 has garnered four awards for ‘Best Group’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and also appeared on the Later… With Jools Holland TV show (BBC 2 TV).
Individual members have all won multiple awards and recognition for their solo work. Kris Drever was nominated for 2017 Folk Singer of The Year & Best Original Track, and Martin Green was nominated for 2017 Best Album & Best Original Track BBC Folk Awards.
Now Lau has released its first ever retrospective album, Decade The Best Of 2007-2017. A compilation of the trio’s best tracks, it has been curated by Lau and Tom Rose (of Reveal Records & Management) from the song and tune suggestions of their very many fans.
