Lau
Book now

Comprised of three of the country’s finest traditional musicians, Lau have been named Best Group at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards a remarkable four times since forming in the mid-Noughties. Add to that a prized appearance on Later… with Jools Holland, and it’s no wonder many see them as a band truly at the forefront of contemporary British folk music.

They now celebrate the 10 successful years since 2007’s debut album, Lightweights and Gentlemen, with Decade, their first retrospective album. With the trio selecting their best tracks for the record, this corresponding tour is a chance to experience these fan-favourites in the live setting where Lau truly excel.
