Upcoming Gig: Lisa Hannigan

Following seven years of successful collaboration with Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan returned to Dublin to record a notebook full of songs; after long days spent in a basement studio with her band, playing glockenspiels and harmoniums, violins and organs, trumpets and guitars, and singing until they were hoarse, the result was her 2009 Mercury Prize-nominated debut Sea Sew.

On the 23 November Lisa Hannigan brings her band to Royal Festival Hall at Southbank Centre for an evening songs taken from her acclaimed new record.

For those still unconvinced here’s a clip of a live performance of  ‘Lille’ from Sea Sew on RTE last year:
