So it seems that after a week away, I have missed some pretty big news. I found out about the death of Steve Jobs a few days later than everyone else. But also, this was a pretty big week for Irish music. Lisa Hannigan, who made her name collaborating with fellow countryman Damien Rice, released her second album since the musicians drifted apart in the UK (interestingly it was released three weeks earlier in the US). The album isn't available until November 4 in Australia, however you can listen to excerpts from it on her website.
BUT
Lisa is coming to our fine country very soon (although not playing her own material) for "Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake" in Sydney and Melbourne. So get your skates on, it's gonna be epic.
Well, it's bye for now. I've left you with quite a long video on the making of Parachutes, because frankly I really.. really like Lisa, so I enjoy watching/listening to her. If you don't have a spare seven minutes however, go here for a short taste of what Ms Hannigan is all about.
