Lisa Hannigan not for KC
I think I gave the impression that the last time Damien Rice came to the KC area - actually Lawrence, Kansas - the best thing about the gig was Lisa Hannigan. And if I didn’t, well I meant to.
And in my half-hearted review of ‘9′, Rice’s follow-up to ‘O’, I lamented Hannigan not being used nearly enough.
Put it together and you’d be right in thinking I was wondering if the amazingly voiced Hannigan would be performing again with Rice when Damien plays Kansas City in May, 2007.
No, is the answer - according to DamienRice.com (and alerted to by Jim Carroll):
After much thought and discussion Damien has decided that his professional relationship with Lisa Hannigan has run its creative course. As a result Lisa will not be appearing at any of the upcoming live shows. Lisa is embarking on her own artistic endeavours and there are no plans for them to work together in the foreseeable future. The current band on tour at the moment are - Damien Rice, Joel Shearer, Shane Fitzsimons, Tom Osander & Vyvienne Long.
I am immensely looking forward to whatever she chooses to record, and not sure I want to see Rice play live untempered by her quality. Here’s a video of Lisa performing in Sligo:
