With her first solo album, ‘An Raicín Álainn’, issued in 2002 continuing to impress listeners all over the world, Lasairfhíona (pronounced Lah-sah-reena) and the release of her album ‘Flame of Wine’ (a literal translation of her own name in Irish) has become one of Ireland’s most distinguished singers. A singer/songwriter deeply rooted in the sean-nós singing style of her home on Inishere, Aran Islands, a broad range of contemporary music also influences her. The result is a magical mosaic of sound, as refreshing and as unpredictable as a showery day inside in Aran. Lasairfhíona has performed at venues like The National Concert Hall, Dublin and The Town Hall, Galway. She has taken part in many radio and television programmes in Ireland and abroad and has performed at international music festivals, such as the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and Festival Interceltique de Lorient. A talent well recognized, she was nominated for a prestigious Meteor award earlier in 2006. ******************************************************************************" "Hugely enjoyable, with its mix of Gaelic and English songs, Flame of Wine confirms Lasairfhíona's place in the pantheon of Irish music."
