With a platinum debut album Hozier and an upcoming nationwide tour, Co. Wicklow native Andrew Hozier-Byrne is still taking time to give a nod to his Irish roots, covering Belfast legend Van Morrison.

Yesterday, some fans were lucky enough to chat to the artist on the phone after he tweeted his mobile number saying, 'Give me a bell.'

Hozier said he offered this 'small surprise' as a way to say thank you, and while it seems there were some technical difficulties, he assured the Twitterverse that he'd be back to answer their calls soon.
