- Award Winning band featuring traditional music from Lynn Tocker, Frankie McGuire & Mark Canning

- Traditional folk band Lyra Celtica have earned an excellent reputation for their live performances throughout the UK, Ireland, Russia and the USA.
The debut album was hailed as a great success (Living Tradition, Issue 65), and has received worldwide airplay throughout Europe, Japan, Russia and Canada; and they are proving even more popular for their stage performances ("...excellent live. Tipped for an exciting future" All Celtic Music).
Winners of the IRISH ANNE O'BRIEN TRIBUTE STAGE AWARD in 2005, the release of the band's second album is eagerly anticipated.
Lynn Tocker is no stranger to success. She was the first winner of the BBC Young Traditinal Musician of the Year Award, and has been touring the world with her music since the age of 14, both as a solo artist and as one of the orginal members of the Kathryn Tickell Band.
Her composition "Floating from Skerry", recorded on the album "the Kathryn Tickell Band" has received worldwide recognition.

If you're from Scotland, you should be listening to it right now! A better choice for Homecoming 2009 than Caledonia ?? Or maybe a bit too realistic for that eh!0 Comments 207 days
