Amhráin Uí Chearbhalláin/ Songs of O’Carolan
Is amhránaí/cumadóir amhránaí í Lasairfhíona atá fréamhaithe go domhain i stíl amhránaíochta sean-nóis Oileáin Árann. Tá a cur chuige nuálaíoch ar cheol Gaelach agus ar amhránaíocht thraidisiúnta á cheiliúradh ina trí albam iomráiteacha, An Raicín Álainn, Flame of Wine agus One Penny Portion. Tá toradh a saothair ina mósáic dhraíochtúil fuaime, é chomh húr, athraitheach le lá bog báistí in Árainn. “Anáil fíorghlan de chuile rud atá álainn faoi Éirinn.” Léirmheasanna Cheol Tíre & Fuaimníocht an BBC.
Le tamall anuas, tá Lasairfhíona ag cuir coiriú ceoil ar amhráin Thoirdhealbhach Uí Chearbhalláin, thaifead sí an t-amhrán amhrán Eilís Nic Dhiarmada Rua dá halbam One Penny Portion.
