A performer and a storyteller, Lyra is truly a modern sensation. The Co Cork woman signed her first record deal in 2017 and since then it has been a tumultuous six years.

Things are looking up for the Bandon-born singer as she’s set to release her debut album later this year and is playing two sold-out gigs at the 1,000-capacity Cork Opera House.
