Track Across the Deep [CD]

'very beautiful and sensitive interpretations and arrangements'

'The London Lasses and Pete Quinn's emergence is vitally important, acknowledging a forgotten voice in Irish music and rebirthing it magnificently'

`sets of reassuring strength and vitality...played with elegance'

`There's a delicious depth of texture throughout this recording - Irish music in all its splendour is here'

'Brisk and lively and, while very traditional in style, offers a wide range of arrangements that keeps everything fresh and enjoyable'

Three years on from their eponymous debut album (LL001) The London Lasses have had a wealth of touring experience, wide radio and TV exposure (even appearing in the BBC's hugely popular EastEnders!) and are now a quintet: Karen Ryan (fiddle,whistles), Elaine Conwell (fiddle), Dee Havlin (flute,whistle), Maureen Linane (button accordion) and Kathleen O'Sullivan (vocals). On TRACK ACROSS THE DEEP they are again joined by pianist Pete Quinn, who brings his diverse musical background to accompany the Lasses on a selection of jigs, reels, other dances and songs, all in an exciting way which still manages to remain faithful to the tradition.
