Lyra

Lyra is a singer/songwriter from Cork whose voice and on-stage presence is truly at home on a global stage.

She has highlighted her love of Irish "luminaries" Enya and Sinéad O'Connor, artists whom critics, among others such as Kate Bush and Florence and the Machine, have subsequently likened her music to.
