The Gorge Singer-Songwriter Luán Parle (pronounced Lu-on Parl) is from the equally beautiful Wicklow. Luán has a distinct vocal style, and an ability to compose and perform across genres that is unlike anyone else we've heard from this island.
2007 and 2008 were banner years for Luán and now the she is a firmly established and celebrated artist 2009 should be the same!
"...Luán has had a successful chart album (“Free”), top 10 hit single (“Ghost”), a top 10 national annual airplay hit (“Failed Romances”) and a multitude of awards including three majors: Meteor “Best Irish Female Artist” / Tatler “Music Woman of the Year” / Big Buzz “Best Female Performer”. In 2008 she performed on many national TV shows including the Late Late Show, Ireland AM & Xpose..."
Luán has had massively favourable response to radio and television play up and down the country. Her album “Free” which was an “Irish only” release had Luán spending weeks touring Ireland where she made a point to hold many “no age restriction” concerts. Luán continued her work and involvement with Irish youth by giving numerous primary & secondary school “workshops” about being a songwriter and the music industry in general.
Miss Parle has also cemented her place as an Irish 'It' girl as she has been featured in many “glossy” mags like VIP, Image, Irish Tatler, TV Now out and about and always looking GORGE. Along with a distinct musical style Luán has a distinct sense of style with her fashion and brings a very refreshing Boho-Glam look to the Irish music scene, a nice departure from some of the more cookie-cutter pop tarlets that seem to always flood the market. Though she is now really coming in to her own, and the spotlight she deserves Luán has been singing since age seven, writing since the age of eleven and first recorded and appeared on TV before her teens.
Miss Parle was seen on the Late Late (Toy) Show at the early age of 11 and sang a track she had written herself called “I Look Up To The Sky”.
In more recent years she has worked with the best of Ireland's and international writers, producers, and musicians to cultivate her rich sound and build up her experience.
I'm sure loads of you are familiar with her music but if you aren't get acquainted! Luán Parle will be around for years to come and she appears to only be getting better with age. Her tunes are like musical smack, one listen and you'll be hooked, humming away for weeks at a time just like me! Give a listen!! So excited to hear what else this FAB lady has to offer!
