2008 gets off to a sprightly start for the singer, with a 2FM-supported visit to Groningen, Holland for the Eurosonic festival, ‘Best Irish Female’ and ‘Best Irish Album’ nods at the Meteors and one of her biggest headlining shows to date in Dublin's Tripod on February 21.

Tickets for the latter, priced €20 and €22.50, are on sale now.

Hotpress.com will also be extremely surprised if she’s not shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize, which will be announced next month in Vicar St.
