Discography

Personal life

Hannigan briefly studied English and art history at Trinity College Dublin. During her first week at university she became friends with Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice. [58] Hannigan eventually left university to travel with Rice across Europe.[ citation needed ]

Mercury Prize

Sea Sew was nominated for the Mercury Prize on 21 July 2009. [68] [69] [70] It was Hannigan's first nomination.

Hannigan was referred to as 2009's "token folk nominee" in the UK, [35] with the NME calling her a "token folkie".
