Lothlorien

About Me

Lothlorien’s music is almost a genre on its own, playing both instrumental and song. Fresh with depth and expressed in a multitude of instruments capturing the journey of mood and emotion, they have been enthralling ears and eyes at festivals and events for nearly a decade.
The Lothlorien sound is unique, unlike any folk music you might have come across. Drawing on the increasingly multicultural nature of Australia, the members of the band are also unique in character, energy and presentation. They will often dress in costume, taking their listener on a bard’s journey guided by spoken word accompanyed by Celtic harp as introduction to compositions.

Lothlorien survive on festival performances and sell their CDs independently. They are proud to have sold the most CDs out of 350 acts on their first appearance at Woodford, Australia’s biggest folk festival. They have been repeatedly invited back, always selling within the top 10. To back up the band’s environmental message, they are proud to donate a percentage of CD sales (so far donating over $6000) to either the Australian Bush Heritage Fund www.bushheritage.org or towards the planting of trees on festival sites visited by Lothlorien.We done made this ace with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
