‘This is an exciting and exhilarating listen from drummer,
\n<\/i>Kevin Lawlor, and the fourth release under his leadership
\nfor which he has written all the material. The music is tough
\nand sometimes uncompromising . Strong themes, tight
\nrhythmic grooves, and punchy arrangements that are
\nflexible enough to let the band dig in with some meaty
\nimprovisations’<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0– Jazz Views (UK), 2020<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cStramash\u201d represents another impressive offering from
\nLawlor and his young quintet, with each piece characterised
\nby a strong narrative arc and plenty of variation in terms of
\ncolour, texture and dynamics. Jazz and rock influences
\ncombine effectively to create music that is fusion-esque, but
\nwithout ever being \u2018fusion\u2019 in the old fashioned pejorative
\nsense. It\u2019s just good quality contemporary post bop jazz,
\nplayed with skill and a youthful energy.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lawlor has been rightly credited with creating a vibrant
\njazz scene in Wexford, centred mostly on the Wexford Arts
\nCentre. That he is attracting attention at national level and
\noverseas is long overdue and well justified.<\/i><\/p>\n
