Funding application and subsequent tour management and recording (with Neil Richardson Splashpoint) by Thick Skinned Productions team, including Cathie Rae and Dave Gray.

In a four-starred review, Guardian reviewer John Fordham said of Live at the Lampie, "Since Liane Carroll can loose off a jazz-singing broadside that might touch on Betty Carter and Bobby McFerrin (with soul-vocal asides including everyone from Aretha to Stevie Wonder), and Scottish piano virtuoso Kellock has a comparable range from Fats Waller to free-improv, the potential for repetition in this duo is low.

There's none of her equally amazing piano playing here, but it's hard to think of a better matched keyboard companion than Brian Kellock, Scotland's finest jazz pianist and probably one of the best anywhere.

[4] Peter Quinn, writing in the May 2009 issue of Jazzwise, gave the album four stars and said: "There was never a scintilla of doubt that a meeting between Liane Carroll and Brian Kellock would produce something a little out of the ordinary, but the breathtaking scope of the duo's music-making on Live At The Lampie is jaw-dropping... Carroll spins endlessly inventive melodic lines in a vocal performance which, purely in terms of visceral excitement and fearless soloing, is unprecedented in her output".

[2] Peter Bevan, for the Northern Echo, described it as "a gloriously passionate album" that captures the "tremendous rapport with each musician bringing out the best in the other".
