Laurence Nugent - "A brilliant flute and whistle player with near cult status."-The Anchorage Daily News
"...Nugent is capable of tearing a musical hole into the space-time continuum." - Brendan Alex
"At its best, traditional Irish music alternately soothes the soul and inflames one's passion, and few musicians do both as effortlessly as Nugent does." -The Chicago Tribune.

Laurence is a virtuoso All-Ireland winning champion of the flute and tin whistle from Fermanagh, an area of Northern Ireland that is steeped in music. He recorded three CDs for Shanachie Records. Laurence has toured throughout the U.S, Europe, and Japan over the last two decades.
