“A modernist, Kinsella is pushing vocal improvisation into new areas” — AllAboutJazz
“Fine improvising vocalist – the powerful, freewheeling Lauren Kinsella” — John Fordham, The Guardian
Vocalist and improviser Lauren Kinsella works within jazz, folk and contemporary composition and movement, exploring their relationship with vocal sound.
Her work as a composer, improviser, collaborator and performer has been described as “truly captivating” (For Folk’s Sake), “stunning” (BBC Radio 3) and with “inventive curiosity and imagination” (Irish Examiner). Her live performance with drummer Dave Smith and saxophonist Tom Challenger will explore themes of conservation and nature.
