History on Lisa
 
So, how did Lisa and Damien get together? Did she do any music before Damien? Does she have an album or such out at all?

(I know she sings solo sometimes at concerts, and she sings Silent Night on O)

She had a scholarship for Art History in Trinity College Dublin, then she left it to sing. She doesn't have any music released, but she does have her own songs and a band called 'Daisy Okell Quartet'... to the best of my knowledge they have only ever played two shows.

Actually I got the phrase wrong, it's actually entrance exhibitions. Guess who didn't get one so had no real need to know the right phrase.

Entrance Exhibitions are awarded to Junior Freshman (first year) new entrants on the basis of performance in public examinations.

An Entrance Exhibition is worth books to the value of €254 divided over the first and second years of attendance.

Students are not required to apply for an Entrance Exhibition. The names of exhibitioners will be announced during the first term and schools in which students received their post-primary education will be informed.

You also get the option of an on campus room in first year. Basically Lisa was very smart and got a minimum of 545-550 points in her leaving.

Sinead 11-17-2005 05:13 PM

Wow that is alot of points!!!Fair play to her!!

anyone know?

Bumpman 11-18-2005 12:30 PM

As far as i know they were introduced by a friend in a café in Dublin. It's not the greatest story ever told.

cille 11-18-2005 02:54 PM

i heard in an interview (not sure which) that they kept bumping into eachother over a period of time cause they had mutual friends or something, and that for a while he didn't even know she was a singer but when he heard she was a singer he knew she would be amazing.

something like that anyhoo.

Ranting Thespian 11-19-2005 03:45 AM

thanks

She also started up "The Cowardly Lion Theatre Company" She's an amazing woman in many senses of the word.

(and Hello igloo, how I've missed you. I am back!)

Penny Lane 11-20-2005 04:38 PM

Aw. What else about Lisa? I love that she's an actress. Gah, I just love HER.

yeah, she's perfect!!

Bumpman 11-20-2005 09:36 PM

I'll bet in real life she's an evil genius, perhaps she'll become Damien's arch nemisis and try to kill him with sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. But he'll escape by taking the sharks and himself too seriously, then they'll become confused and Lisa will have to retreat to her castle on The Cliffs of Insanity to plot her next evil scheme.

Let's petition emmett to change the pictures on the main page to ones with Damien in a rubber superhero suit, Lisa an an evil pose plotting Damien's destruction, Vyvienne in her 'sidekick to Damo' gear, Shane as the damsel in distress kidnapped by the evil Lisa, and Tomo offering pearls of sage-like wisdom to Damien in his eternal struggle to bring Lisa to justice.

Na-na Na-na Na-na Na-na DAMIENMAN.

cille 11-20-2005 10:03 PM

Hey now. I'm supposed to be the psychotic freak! :eek: :eek:

SisterMidnight 11-20-2005 10:18 PM

name two: sistermidnight

i'll join the petition to get the pics changed, honestly there are better photos of both of them but especially damien...

but i'm not sure about the superhero theme :smiley36:

Andrew 11-21-2005 03:41 PM

This thread is violating the forum rules. no one can speak of damien and lisa's personal life. please respect them. Its a simple rule, jeez! obey the rules. blah blah blah...ITS NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND, obey this rule or leave the forum, simple as that.

*hint the sarcasm

Bumpman 11-22-2005 04:44 PM

I think you mean either 'hint of sarcasm' or 'note the sarcasm'. Anyway i'm not sure that that rule is meant to exclude the kind of information that might appear in a one page wikipedia biography like where the band grew up or used to live, i think it's perhaps better suited to information of a more sensitive nature, y'know personal stuff like families, illnesses, relationships, phone numbers and stuff.

Lots of people are pretty sour about that whole debate there, it's best not to bring it up again, it just gets tangled up in these big ethical discussions and everyone gets very píssed off.

cille 11-22-2005 04:49 PM

name three: cille person type thing

Penny Lane 11-24-2005 02:23 PM

I was just thinking that I've never heard Lisa Hannigan speak...I've heard her sing of course, and heard Damien speak, but never her...strange. Anyone have any clips of her actually speaking?

flyaway 11-24-2005 03:54 PM

She speaks at the end of "Willy"
and also there's some radio interviews of her somewhere, I'm sure.
:)

Penny Lane 11-26-2005 02:51 PM

Really! Because I have Willy and I've never heard her speak at the end of it....yes I'm sure their are some in the interviews on here and such, but none of them work still. :(
