“Laoise Kelly subverts all cliched images of Irish colleens with harps by playing driving instrumental music” Cara Magazine
“Kelly virtually reinvents the instrument with her rhythmic and melodic intricacy, her syncopation and undulating chords and harmonies . . . she'll have you swaying in your bath-chair with her profound musicality.” Irish Times (Mic Moroney)
“She turned the often sedate harp into an instrument alive with the mirth and gaiety of dance music. It serves as synth, bass and virtuoso solo instrument in her sure and confident hands. She ably changes tunings, syncopates, harmonises and above all plays a stunning melody line, all in the same breath, or sweep of the arm.” Irish Music Magazine
