Lazy journalists may have dubbed her "The New Amy Winehouse" (they're referring to her music, not her lifestyle, thank God!) but this year's hottest music sensation, Adele, is fast becoming a household name in her own right, and with good reason! Her smoky, soulful vintage-style voice and jazzy, self-penned songs of hearbreak, love and generally being "between 18 and 19" bear all the hallmarks of a music legend in the making. The nineteen year old former-Goth's diverse taste in music includes Jill Scott, Etta James, Billy Bragg, Jeff Buckley and The Cure among others, bringing a fantastically modern edge to her soul-tinged songs, creating timeless tunes everyone can relate to.

The talented newcomer recently came top of the BBC's Sound of 2008 poll - which showcases the best new music talent for the new year - when 150 of the UK's most knowledgeable and influential music critics, editors and broadcasters picked their favourite new acts.  On 2nd March she played her first ever Irish gig in Crawdaddy to a packed out house, and she enjoyed it so much she's coming back again on 6th May!

Tickets are a snip at just €14 (standing) or €17.50 (seated) and they're sure to sell out fast.
