Plunkett... an English boy and an Italian girl.

Both Ian and Lara had a love for music from a very early age.
Lara chose the piano, Ian the guitar.
After studying music (theory, midi, harmony and sound engineering) at Rome, Lara became a partner and A&R of Dune Records, an independent Italian label.
Ian had always played in bands and after finally finding like minded musicians the band ‘Pukromo' was born.
In late 1999 Pukromo signed to Dune records recording their debut album ‘Promise Me Kill Me' during 2000.

Life’s funny sometimes and although the label and band folded, Ian and Lara got together.
Frustrated by the mechanisms and ties of the music biz and tired of their ‘electronic’ past, they focused on their emotions, on themselves. Without any thought or the pressure of trying be anything other than that. Themselves.
What came out of it was 14 Days. 13 songs, 47 odd minutes of music, ''a pure and natural record in a world of ipods and samples. Equally introspective and upbeat. Quiet and yet powerful. Stark yet warm. It wraps up influences from early Dylan circa-Freewheelin' and After The Goldrush-era Neil Young with a dash of Beck, Turin Brakes and Gomez for a more modern spin on what most people would try to label 'folk rock'. 14 Days achieves that rare objective of having just the right balance between emotion and good tunes. Message with melody.''

For the first time ever in Ian and Lara's life as musicians, they felt satisfied that they'd created an album which really represented them and merits 'something' from start to finish.

With a desire to only write songs and move people, Plunkett choose to remain independent artists and work outside of the mainstream music business making their album available to their audience in 2006 trough their website and with the support of online independent distributors.

Plunkett are currently working on a new album which will be ready for release by the end of 2007. The concept of this new album is 'folk music for our generation'.
