For one who used to be Ms. Ubiquity, playing and singing with virtually every performer in Ireland (including a certain D Rice), Lisa Hannigan has been very quiet as of late. Well, I guess that's because she's been working away on her solo material which she's about to unleash on the Irish public. She's announced a slew of live dates up and down the country, taking in every highroad and byroad in Ireland.
