Following the release of her latest CD "Slow Down", and her new DVD "Liane Live", Splash Point Records' artist Liane Carroll has bagged the prestigious "Musician of the Year Award 2008". Organised by the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group (APPJAG) of prominent MPs and peers, and sponsored by royalty collection agency PPL, the ceremony was held on Tuesday 13/5/08 at The Houses of Parliament in London. This award adds to Liane's amazing string of accolades including BBC Best of Jazz and Jazz Vocalist, Best Vocalist at the British Jazz Awards and Best Female Jazz Vocalist at the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Awards. She has now won a major jazz award every year since her first album with Splash Point Records "Billy No Mates". In addition, her latest CD "Slow Down" was also nominated for the APPJAG Album of the Year. This follows on the plaudits heaped on the Abbey Road album "Standard Issue".
Liane's fabulous solo album, Billy No Mates, has made its mark on the jazz world. Released on Splash Point Records, it was launched with a great gig and party in September 2003 at the 606 Jazz Club in London . Liane's three albums previous to Billy No Mates - Clearly (Bridge), Dolly Bird ( Ronnie Scott's Jazz House), Son of Dolly Bird (Ronnie Scott's Jazz House) are all band recordings. What makes her new solo album, Billy No Mates, so unique is the enormous energy and passion she generates on her own. Listen
