Launched in 2005 by Irish singer Lorraine Reilly and
Bristolian pianist Jeremy Millington, The Portraits’ warm upbeat sound which
mixes folk with music theatre, jazz and classical styles has secured the band a
big following in the UK and France. As well as being crowned Best International
Artist 2011 by US station Radio Crystal Blue, The Portraits released a song,
Liberty, for Burma’s democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, which was presented to
her in person.
From their roots playing as an acoustic duo (piano,
guitar, 2 voices) the Portraits have exploded into an energetic, sparkling full
band, adding violin, cello, bodhran, upright bass and third vocalist into the
mix, and their live performances leave audiences moved to laughter and tears in
equal measure.
