Charm. Lisa Hannigan has it in bucketfuls. An unusual charm, like her unique take on her self-styled “plink plonk rock”. Something homely, warm and very unshowbiz.

One might be tempted to describe her as being “girl next door”, except nobody really lives next door to anyone this cute and talented.
