This week marks one year since Lorraine Barnes made her very first appearance on backing vocals with Hozier, on an Italian TV show, no less! (Click through for full video.)
Lorraine’s first live show with Hozier was one year ago today (21 January, 2015) at the 02 Academy in Oxford. Here’s her first stage introduction – too bad she’s not in the shot!
Ah…. that’s better. Here’s her smiling self in the stage intro from Columbia, MD. (June)

What do you do when boredom takes hold on a long overnight bus ride from Brussels to London? You give Hozier and the rest of the band cornrows, of course! (November)
I get that being on tour is a lot of work – but it sure looks like a lot of F U N ! Lorraine is talented, beautiful and I gather a lot of fun!
I love this soooooo much!!!!!
Thanks Bil! And yes, Audrey, it does look like fun too!
