Sinead O'Connor gig at Villa announced

Tickets on sale at midday

One of Ireland's best known singers will be in concert at the Villa Marina just before Christmas.

Triskel Promotions has announced Sinead O'Connor will play an all-seated gig in the Royal Hall on Wednesday 18 December.

Tickets from £42 go on sale at midday.
