To accomodate an appearance on Later with Jools Holland, the dates for Lisa's shows in Brighton and Bristol have been postponed until July. The Bristol date at Fleece is now on July 14, and the Brighton date at Komedia is now on July 15.

All tickets sold for the original May dates will be honoured for the July shows. If you bought tickets for either of these shows through the LisaHannigan.ie presale and can't make the new dates, please contact us at help@LisaHannigan.ie.

We'll have more news on the Later appearance closer to the air date.

Tomo's Phlog #16 UK Tour
28th April 2009

The Luck Of The Donkeys

Day one of our Spring UK run finds us ready, rested and raring to go. We traveled from Belfast to Scotland and found that forgoing the usual stresses involved with airport check-in versus the relative ease of the ferry was one of the best moves we've made. Bravo Una.

Once on Scottish shores our drive up the coast allowed us fine views and a perfect sunset. Unfortunately, as I was driving, I didn't get any photos of either. Never the less, it was a fine and relaxed start to the tour and I think we all agree now that flying is truly for the birds.

Waiting for the ferry.

Note Benjamin Braddock in at the top left corner.

The gang on the ferry.

It's the usual suspects plus Mike, who has returned to do our sound.

Additionally, you'll soon meet our new backline man, Johnny.

That's the back of his head bottom right.

Richie Egan (aka Jape) is doing support for us on this run.

Here, Lisa and he debate the local traffic near Turnberry.

And decide to make a run for it.

http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/s...y/IMG_1694.jpg

Just before the sun went down several ears caught my eye.

http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/s...y/IMG_1708.jpg

No, I didn't get any shots of the breathtaking scenery or the sunset but I did stop the van for these guys.

I think it's an excellent omen to meet a group of donkeys on our first day.

They were in Belfast and didn't even call to say hello :(

Timeé 04-29-2009 04:21 PM

I can't believe I'm not going to the Aberdeen gig tonight. I really have to study :(

Dean C 05-03-2009 12:44 AM

Arghhhh why did no-one tell me she's playing in Birmingham on Monday! Not only this but the venue is two minutes walk from my place. Is anyone from here going?

#Ian# 05-03-2009 03:32 PM

Anyone been to any of the gigs yet and seen Richie opening? Dude is an amazing songwriter,

Dellboyy 05-05-2009 09:19 AM

I saw Lisa in Manchester on Sunday, absolutely amazing stuff, her voice and the band both! I didn't think she'd be that much better than even i'd remembered. Great cover of Lady Is A Tramp! :-)

Richie well worth checking out, enjoyed his set too!

Oh, and a review:

London's Shepherds Bush Empire 13.05.09
 
Anyone at the gig last night? Great set, very easy-going. The band playd to a full house and everyone was loving it - standing ovation at the end (entirely seated gig). The band are certainly becoming a lot more polished and Lisa is really starting to shine as the frontwoman, she was a lot more engaging than when I saw her this time last year, there's obviously alot more confidence in both herself and her collection of songs. Setlist was same as the Sheffield gig posted above (although different order) apart from ommission of Queen of Hearts and i think, the inclusion of another track.

And it was really something for her to play two covers as her encore and bring the house down!

She didn't mention anything about Playground Love, but is it a cover?

Only heard the end of Jape, he was pretty good, but didn't seem to get much audience attention.

yes, Playground Love is an Air cover. I really like her take on it. :)

eamo_rice 05-14-2009 09:59 PM

Yeah it is a great tune, and The Lady is a Tramp is a fantastic cover!

Moves-My-World 05-14-2009 10:02 PM

Has she reverted back to the name of Drummy Drummy from Secrets in Stones?

vyvrox 05-15-2009 09:50 PM
