Una Healy announces debut solo album and UK and Ireland shows for 2017.
Una Healy has announced two very special live shows, the first at London’s St Pancras Old Church on Wednesday 15th February 2017 and the second at Dublin’s The Sugar Club on Thursday 16th February 2017. The intimate, headline dates will coincide with her debut solo album release, The Waiting Game, that hits stores on 10th February. Tickets are on sale now.
London tickets can be purchased from http://gigst.rs/UnaH and Dublin at http://www.ticketmaster.ie/promo/r7gt5g.
Following recent supports with Ward Thomas and Maddie & Tae, Una is excited to head out on tour in celebration of The Waiting Game. She will be joined on the dates by Catherine McGrath.
Speaking of the dates, Una added: “I am so excited to take my brand new album “The Waiting Game” live to the stage for my very own headline shows in Dublin and London. I can’t wait to hit the road with my live band and hope to see you there!”.
The Irish singer-songwriter and one fifth of successful girl band The Saturdays, Una Healy can’t wait for fans to see her return to her roots for her solo debut. The Waiting Game weaves magnetic folk, pop and rock melodies into echoes of the country music she grew up with and is available to preorder now on iTunes and Amazon.
To coincide with the album announcement, Una has also made the title track available to stream or to download when you preorder the album. Listen to the track now on Spotify here.
On The Waiting Game, Una has worked with some of the world’s most acclaimed songwriters and producers, including Grammy winner Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran’s ‘Thinking Out Loud’), Ben Earle from The Shires, Nick Atkinson (Gabrielle Aplin), singer songwriter Jack McManus and Sacha Skarbek (Lana Del Ray, Jason Mraz).
“When I watched Una Healy’s opening set for Ward Thomas at Bush Hall, London, United Kingdom in October I was immediately captivated by her strong vocals and beautifully written songs from her debut album ‘The Waiting Game’. Una’s love of country music and pop is blended in such a way that it is commercial e.g. radio airplay but it also paints pictures in the listener’s mind. I believe this is just the start of her journey as a solo artist and that there is still plenty more to come.” – Glenn Sargeant of Just Listen To This
Una has also recently announced that her debut single since signing to Decca Records in the summer will be Stay My Love. The track is a collaboration with Sam Palladio, star of the hit US TV series Nashville and was co-written by Amy Wadge. The single will premiere in the new year and be released shortly ahead of the album release. Una also features on the Original Soundtrack for the movie Mum’s List. Angel Like You, which will also be on The Waiting Game, was chosen as the end credits to the film and can be listened to here.
