Ant has just returned from an intensive week in Scotland. HLK performed with Evelyn G at Aberdeen Jazz Festival (in the newly refurbished Aberdeen Music Hall) then headed to Edinburgh - the band's home. The trio rehearsed ALL week working on new pieces, finishing with a concert in Glasgow.

"The pastoral flavoured Harvest stood out among the new songs, infusing Law’s remarkable technique with real feeling."

Jon Turney & Peter Slavid attended the concert and wrote this (and other nice things) about it for London Jazz News - have a read.

Ant is delighted to be bringing the Life I Know band (exactly as per the album) to this great festival in November. See you there Cambridgers & Cambridgettes!

"Ant Law deserves a lot of attention. He is not only a great guitarist who plays from a broad musical spectrum, he is also a strong composer who shows great growth with every album. Life I Know is highly recommended and Law the man who has to come to the...

"Depending on who you ask, music and science are poles apart, or peas in a pod. On the one hand, schools in the UK have traditionally specialised early, channelling students into ‘the arts’ or ‘the sciences’. On the other, people are often unsurprised to find that I work in both...

Check out Jim Gilchrist's great (if sesquipedalian, and slightly grandiloquent) review of Life I Know! A minor correction to make - I am technically one quarter German, three quarters English. However, I lived in Edinburgh for six years and am incredibly fond of Scottish people, music and culture so I...

Jordan Quintero wrote one of the best Life I Know reviews yet, also taking care to summarise what many other journalists are saying...
"Without hesitation, this is another of the best albums, the best of...

Thanks Jos Demol for including LIK in his 2018 round up! And for the first ever description of my bandmates as "lawyers" which I most certainly will be using henceforth ;)
