"Love Is Pleasing"

Unreleased

Singing traditional, unaccompanied songs from Ireland, Scotland, England and the US, Landless are Lily Power, Méabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinéad Lynch. The group formed in 2013, having met through college and Dublin’s traditional singing community. Produced by John ‘Spud’ Murphy, their second album Lúireach adds subtle instrumental accompaniment to their voices and includes centuries-old ballads, more recent compositions and one song learned from Slovakian singer Eva Brunovská.
