About La Nua
Product Description From ''The most innovative and intriguing instrumental group in Ireland today''. The new album, their first studio effort in four years, follows the critically acclaimed 2006 release, Sé, which received worldwide praise. Lunasa recorded Lá Nua on location in the historical Cooley mountains, which inspired much of the creativity and writing on the album. Lunasa is compased of Kevin Crawford (Flute, Low Whistles and Tin Whistles), Trevor Hutchinson (Double Bass), Paul Meehan (Guitar, Bouzouki and Mandolin), Sean Smyth (Fiddle and Low Whistle) and Cillian Vallely (Uilleann Pipes and Low Whistle). Review The new album, Lá Nua (Irish for New Day), is the first on Lúnasa Records, their newly launched imprint, and it is one of the most enjoyable and accomplished recordings from Lúnasa to date and easily the finest instrumental recording I've heard so far this year. There is not one weak or wobbly track on Lá Nua. In effect, it's an album of highlights, including Crawford's tender flute playing on Tune for Dad, commemorating the recent passing of his father; East Village Days/Timmy's Place/Doc Holliday's, a medley of Vallely tunes; Ciara's Dance/Burning Snowball/Road to Reel ; and Inverness County Reel/The Beauty Spot/The Shore House Reel. It's a new label and new day for Lúnasa, whose capacity to keep surprising us helps to make their sound unreplicable. Lá Nua is Lunasa in peak form. -- Earle Hitchner, Irish Echo
