L?nasa in concertWith support by KanyaTuesday, 15 May 2012 - 7:30pmIrish Cultural Centre, Blacks Road, HammersmithMusic fans in London can expect to be thoroughly impressed when renowned Irish music ensemble Lunasa bring their energetic, atmospheric blend of contemporary and traditional compositions to the Irish Cultural Centre on Tuesday 15 May. The band have played the Centre many times and are firm favourites at venue. This particular visit is part of Lunasa's most extensive UK tour to date. Formed in 1996 Lunasa is widely-known for original compositions, powered by double bass-driven rhythms. The band features Kevin Crawford, Sean Smyth and Cillian Vallely on traditional Irish instrumentation of low whistle, uilleann pipes, tin whistles and fiddle augmented by Trevor Hutchinson on double bass and Ed Boyd on guitar. On this tour Tola Custy will guest for Sean Smyth on fiddle. Lunasa has toured and performed with some well-known and respected artists including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Rosanne Cash, and Billy Bragg. Their sell out tours of the UK, USA, Europe and Japan have helped them gain major international acknowledgement. Earning themselves the Coeur Miroir award at the Quebec City Summer festival in 2003 confirmed the band's reputation as masters of modern Irish music, and in 2010 they won further major international acknowledgement in the LIVIES (liveireland.com) awards when they were named Performers of the Decade. "This tour will be our most extensive UK tour ever" says Kevin Crawford. "We will be visiting all points of the compass but are especially looking forward to coming back to the Irish Centre, we are always well received here and enjoy every visit we make". With seven albums to their credit Lunasa has a wealth of material to draw on to create a memorable evening. In the words of the Sydney Herald they will leave the audience in no doubt that "Lunasa is the most exciting band to emerge from Ireland in a long, long time". "Anybody who listens can't help but find them contagious" Billboard |
