Cork Opera House presents Starlight, featuring Laoise Leahy with the Johnny Taylor Trio
Laoise Leahy is one of those career vocalists who comes along and joins up the dots that many of us spend our careers trying to do. She brings years as a vocalist in different arenas into partnership with her educational duties which have inspired a creative approach to the delivery of jazz standards and original song. One of the key vocalists in the New Irish Jazz Orchestra, Laoise teams up with director Paul Dunlea and some of the best musicians on the Irish jazz scene. It may be some of the finest by an Irish jazz artist in the last ten years. When conditions are right to tour, she is going to blow the scene out of the water
Dr. Linley Hamilton, BBC Ulster[Laoise’s] voice is a flexible, facile instrument wielded by an ambitious and visionary player. It can be sweet or melancholy, polished or raw and is wide in range and broad in stylistic scope
