CATALONIAN singer-songwriter Joana Serrat has announced a handful of headlining shows for April, in support of new album Dripping Springs.

Since the release of the record last September, Joana has been racking up radio plays on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Radio Scotland, having had two songs added to the BBC 6 Music Recommends Playlist.

6 Music DJ, Lauren Laverne, has once again been singing Joana’s praises, calling her “an astonishing live performer” and encouraging 6 Music listeners to hit YouTube for evidence.

Even better, however, would be to catch Joana Serrat live and in person at The Hug & Pint in Glasgow on April 5.
