Have you ever thought about live music at
work? Do you have a boardroom or a factory or a workplace
where you think a musical performance could take place? Do
you have space in your house for music? Or in your school/community
centre or restaurant? Or do you have ideas for interesting
outdoor spaces? Email linda@modelart.ie and let her know.
No space too small and the more unlikely the better.
Lisa Hannigan Calry Church, The Mall, Sligo
Friday 25th July : Doors 8.30pm, Gig 9pm
Tickets : €15
The Model is delighted to present Lisa Hannigan in Calry Church as
part of it’s model::offsite series; new
spaces for music. Using
our lack of a venue to our advantage, the Model will be experimenting
with new spaces for live music throughout the year. Unusual rooms,
outdoor spaces, places where live music is not normally encountered,
will all become new spaces for music with performers drawn from a
range of music genres. The series began in April with Canadian electronic
act Milosh performing in the Coney Island Suite of the Radisson SAS
Hotel and Spa, and continues throughout the year with concerts in
unusual spaces around Sligo.
Lisa Hannigan returns to Sligo for a New Spaces performance
this July. Probably best known for her collaborations with Damien
Rice, stunning singer-songwriter Lisa is set to release her eagerly
anticipated debut album this autumn. Judging by the demo tracks
available to preview on her
myspace the album, recorded in Dublin’s
Cauldron studio with producer Jason Boshoff and mixed in The
Strongroom, London, is set to more than satisfy fans of her stunning
voice, who last got a taste of her vocals on the single Some
Surprise taken from the hugely successful charity album The
Cake Sale.
Lisa will be using her stunning voice to great effect in the somewhat
unusual surrounds of Calry Church on The Mall in Sligo, on Friday
25th July 2008, where she’ll be previewing songs from the album
with her live band.
Although her Rice collaborations are perhaps the
most well known, Lisa has also been involved with many other side
projects in the Irish music scene, contributing backing vocals to
Sideways Down on The Frames' Burn the Maps and Mic Christopher's
What a Curious Notion for his posthumous debut, Skylarkin, in addition
to performing on the soundtrack for the Irish film Goldfish Memory.
This is Lisa’s second performance in Sligo, having played
one of her very first solo concerts in the Model Niland in November
2006 as part of The Model and Donal Dineen’s acclaimed
experimental music series Month
of Sundays. Lisa and her band
were invited back for the Month of Sundays west coast tour in
2007 and played another outstanding performance in Killorglin
in Kerry.
