The Lasses return to the Arts Center

The Lasses perform the songs they loved best, drawing from the Scottish folk tradition - where Sophie lived for a while - as well as from Irish musical heritage - which Margot knew like the back of her hand, after years of busking with her harp-playing husband.

The snug fit of their voices was not lost on the public and The Lasses have tackled many cafés, concert halls, festivals and churches in the last two years with their enchanting folk repertoire. In 2014, they ventured as far as the West coast of Ireland where they were invited by Luka Bloom. Each Lass plays guitar as well as bodhrán but their voices are instantly recognizable: Margot is the husky alto and Sophie the emotive soprano.

The Lasses' third album, Live at de Parel van Zuilen (with Kathryn Claire), contains a fine selection of songs ranging from the traditional to recent. Sophie and Margot pick their songs by gut feeling - if the song feels like home, if a story rings true in their own hearts, there really is no other choice but to start singing it.

With their unique harmony singing and their charming style, their performance should not be missed.
