Laura and the Lads
Laura and The Lads ranges from a traditional trio to an ensemble five, even six, member strong. With a richly Irish core, the group also features new compositions inspired by traditional forms, as well as music from Scotland, France and Northern Spain. Their arrangements and interpretations are wonderfully arresting and always charming.
Laura and The Lads have toured as MacKenzie with the brilliant Brian Miller (guitar, vocals, flute), fantastic fiddler and Honorary Lad Mag McDermott, and the dashing Dave Cammack (bodhran, accordion, step dancing). An outstanding feature of their show is the world class Irish dance of Kristina Lee, enchanting audiences with her virtuosic performance. The versatile Dave Cammack also steps out from the ensemble to join her in duo choreographies. All members of this ensemble are acknowledged masters, having received numerous honors and awards amongst them. And they thoroughly delight in performing their best selections, from a vast repertoire. Together, they present a dazzling spectrum of Irish music and dance, plus Celtic music from Scotland, France, Galicia and Minnesota, with great exuberance and skill.
