Prospective Aoife O'Donovan tour in Ireland, early Feb. 2013

Thanks to James O'Brien for the news that Aoife O'Donovan (above) of the American string band Crooked Still will be coming to Ireland to do a solo tour after her performance at the Celtic Connections festival (Glasgow, Scotland, 17 Jan.-3 Feb. 2013) as part of the Transatlantic Sessions. The siz dates (1-7 Feb.) currently arranged for Transatlantic Sessions can be seen on Aoife's news page. Her tour in Ireland is planned to start on 8 Feb. James adds:

She is hoping to air some of the new original songs from her forthcoming album; also she will be including versions of old and new American and Celtic folk songs. I'm trying to get as many suitable venues as I can together. She is likely to come either solo or with minimal backing, so getting cosy listening rooms are what I am after.

If you can offer, or know of, a suitable venue and date in the period beginning 8 Feb. 2013, contact James by e-mail.
