    That she most certainly is not!

    Cassandra and Paper Forests are early favourites from the new album. Hoping they'll send around the pre-order downloads in the next day or two!

    Saw her in Dublin back when First Love was released, damn good gig.

    She's meant to be playing the Kilkenny Arts Festival in August, but there has been no mention of it since she first announced it. Keeping an eye out for tickets anyway!

    Yeah, really good gig. It was in a priory of all places so there was only 100-200 people there. It was a shall we say 'older' audience than I expected, seemed like me and my friend were some of the only fans who had actually traveled down! Great gig though - nice mix of old and new. Disappointed I wasted my request on Edward is Deadward during the encore - Emmy said they were going to play that anyway :P
