A highly talented Cork musician is set to tour the world with a string quartet over the next three years after a 'crazy' trial with the musicians.

It's been a meteoric rise for Sinéad O'Halloran, 26, from Blackrock, Cork, who within weeks of getting a trial for the quartet has just performed at the legendary BBC proms and is now set to travel the world.
