In over 62 RadioLondra concerts since its inception in 2009 it has happened to see artists who had already participated in the review: this is the case of Jim Mullen or Ian Shaw, Dino Rubino or Zoe Francis... and Liane Carroll. But Liane sets a new record: she is the first to participate to RadioLondra for the fourth time and the many who have listened to her in her three previous performances (2011, 2013 and 2016) will not be surprised at all. Liane has conquered everyone since the soundcheck, as well as with her disruptive voice and her elegant pianism, with her incredible human charge and her overwhelming sympathy, offering concerts of rare intensity and energetic beauty. Even the walls smiled on those occasions...
And so she is again; if you let it slip the other three times, remember that persevering in error is diabolical!
"Now incredibly swinging, now brutally and tenderly expressive, to be taken to the heart" (Time Out Magazine)
