It's really difficult to explain how completely enthralling Lau are live. But take my word for it. Utterly brilliant.

Such a riveting evening it was excellent, wonderful playing and innovative pieces More More More !!!

Fantastic, they create a sound that just immerses you in the moment. Honestly simply wonderful, moving, just a bit special these boys.

Magical

Incredible

Thank you for an amazing concert! Some slight variations on some LAU favourites and a new tune. Just wonderful to see the trio together again. Thank you LAU. The contributions by Katheryn Joseph were disappointing. Her style of music and singing are very different to LAU’s and didn’t complement the gig.

Great gig. Wish the first set was longer and more Lau

The first half started with an apology from Martin Green, “Er, sorry about that, thanks for waiting, we’re two and half years late getting here. Kris was taking a shower and things just got out of hand.” Straight away we then got a serious demonstration of instrumental and vocal chops, musical quality at the top flight of acoustic artistry. Kris Drever’s fine voice is to the fore on a couple of songs, and his guitar, a small thing with a mighty voice beautifully courses through the evening, the set is equally deftly driven by Aidan O’Rourke, who’s bowing technique is breathtakingly fine, but who is similarly skilled when hammering out double string pulses to provide rhythmic propulsion (there’s likely a technical name for this, but it escapes me). And then there is Martin Green, accordionist extraordinary, who, in his most alarming moments, appears to be a man fighting with a large octopus, trying to cram it into a struggling shoebox that is itself wriggling to escape his grasp. It was a terrific, mesmeric performance, and all over far too soon, though the band played well into the evening; I got to hear several songs from the albums I own, and bought two more albums on the way out, from the merch table. If you love wonderful playing, love fabulous, sometimes lyrically tough songs, if you love experimental developments of the possibilities for an instrumental trio, if you come from a place that values folk songs old and new, if you have a heart that is gladdened by hearing accomplished musicians take their craft in new and exciting directions while paying attentive respect to the roots of their music, go see them.

Sublime

Great performance!

Amazing! Somehow even better live than on record. Would definitely see them again!

This was an excellent performance from these champs. Three guys at the top of their game , taking the music forward. I've seen them a few times now and they just keep getting better and better. Can't recommend seeing them live enough 👍

Wonderful as always. Amazing musicianship. Beautiful & inventive music, these guys take folk to another level

Mesmersing, entrancing, incredible musicianship, lyrical, loud, lilting. Such complex rhythms interweaved so seemingly effortlessly. Pure joy. It really doesn't get much better than this.

Lau are on fireSupport act Simi Stone is well worth your time too

First time to see Lau. Excellent!

Lau were wonderful as ever and a superb support set from Haiku Salut
