Friends
Saint Sister
Saint Sister were shortlisted for Most Promising and Best Track for the 2016 Hotties. Other Voices released a fabulous video of Saint Sister performing Cold Feet in Dingle. Unfortunately, viewership is restricted from many countries. Fans in London can watch Saint Sister for free at The Islington on May 18, 2016. Taking advantage of their producer’s short break from Hozier, the duo spent part of the week recording a few demos with Alex Ryan in Kerry.
