Laish

Event information

Laish, indie folk heroes featuring the finest that the Willkommen Collective of Brighton has to offer. Green’s voice is like no other, from a deep and warm brogue to a soaring falsetto. Frayed around the edges but rich in emotion. Emma Gatrill and Martha Rose provide the angelic voices and organic instrumentation of violin, clarinet and accordion; and Patrick Lawrence and Dan Harding lay down a solid rhythm foundation of bass and drums.

Laish have toured relentlessly throughout the UK and Europe over the last three years, cementing their reputation as a tight, professional unit but with a touch of the unexpected. The band performed a triumphant set on the mainstage at this year’s first No Direction Home Festival and have previously appeared at The Big Chill Festival, Burning Eagle Festival and Willkommen Foxtrot Festival.

They have so far released a self-titled album that received a glowing reception from many including Mojo Magazine who were impressed by its “beguiling songs of love”; and the recent Obituaries EP showcasing what to expect from their new album. Radio play from Marc Riley, The Waiting Room, Folk Radio UK and Amazing Radio. They have a brand new album impatiently waiting in the wings.
Those who have seen Laish live in the flesh come away exhilarated; sweatier and with an uplifted feeling.
