Laliya are James Maguire and Melissa Howlett-Maguire.
Laliya is an instrumental hybrid of new acoustic and subtle world fusion,
creating an atmospheric soundscape using instruments of old in
a modern and exciting way. This has been enhanced through the use of a
technique known as 'two hand tapping' on the Dulcimer combined with rhythmic
and percussive beats of the Djembe.
A truely unique, and transcendent auditory experience. .

"I have been fortunate in my life to have toured
with some of the best musicians in the world... These two are SO unique.
Wonderfully thoughtful work! I can't stop playing this!"
John Mooy "tour manager, guitar tech, artist
relations".... (for the likes of Crosby, Stills
and Nash, Jackson Browne, Kenny Loggins, David Crosby, Nickel Creek..........)
"The two artists' skills and Maguire's composing
talent are more than enough to not just hold interest but get into one's
blood stream and percolate into a heady but subtle frenzy."

In January 2006 Laliya's album Just Like River achieved 4th
