She Moves In Mysterious Ways
At just 30 years of age, Lisa Hannigan has gone from being Damien Rice’s sidekick to establishing herself as one of the most important new artists in contemporary Irish music. With the release of her second album, Passenger, she is set to take the world by storm. But behind the natural beauty is a remarkable woman who is beginning to reveal the depth of her mysteries…

“Exactly. Especially if you’ve got Irish people and American people and UK people - it’s a very different tone that everyone uses, and it’s difficult to get irony across anyway, especially if people aren’t necessarily expecting it. I do quite like it, though. Once James wrote back to me, I relaxed and felt alright. That was my first dipping my toe into internet sass, and it sort of worked!”
It’s almost time for Passenger to take off. Is Lisa looking forward to heading to the US this weekend? She claps her hands and laughs gleefully.
“Yes! Actually, I hope to be doing some recording with T Bone Burnett. The Chieftains have their 50th anniversary coming up, amazingly, and I think I’m singing a song with them, and T Bone Burnett is doing their record, so I’m kinda losing my tiny mind about that a bit! And then we’ve got like 17 gigs I think. I’m all over the shop.”
Well, safe travels – don’t die!
Lisa Margaret Hannigan, an indie-folk starlet who’s soon to blossom into an international star, smiles broadly.
“Thank you! I’ve had a few people say that to me recently. It’s quite nice.”
Passenger is out now on PIAS.
