The 2013 UK Winner of the Voice, Andrea Begley comes from strong musical heritage as her aunt is country music legend Philomena Begley. In 2013 Andrea won the second series of The Voice UK, with Danny O’Donaghue of the Script acted as her mentor. Andrea’s first album, The Message reached number 7 in the UK charts in October last year. Andrea now brings this album to the stage, as well as some of the Irish traditional music that has influenced her as a singer from a young age.
