Lisa Hannigan

Lisa Hannigan will perform in the Brú Ború theatre on the 14th September as part of the 2024 Cashel Arts Festival.

Lisa Hannigan is a versatile Irish folk singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and voice actor, whose solo musical career has spanned 17 years. Hannigan released her debut album, “Sea Sew” in 2008, which earned her nominations for a Choice award in Ireland and a Mercury Music Prize in the UK. Since then, Lisa has released “Passenger” (2011), centred around the pain of leaving and the sense of apartness consequent to a life spent in constant motion, and “At Swim” (2016), a bewitching album where she handles darkness with empathy and directness that can only come with experience. Both albums saw huge critical acclaim in Ireland and the United States. 2019 saw the release of a live album with the contemporary classical orchestra, s t a r g a z e. The collaboration, “Live in Dublin” – which sees Hannigan’s sparse, ethereal folk transformed into something cinematic and transfixing – has been taken to select festivals across Europe, and most recently graced the stages of London’s Barbican and Dublin’s National Concert Hall.
