The tour kicks off at Dublin Vicar Street on February 1 and includes shows in Belfast, Glasgow, Leeds, Leeds, Manchester and Brighton, before coming to an end on February 12 at the Komedia in Bath. Scroll down for full dates.

Meanwhile, Calvi has covered the Bruce Springsteen-penned 'Fire' as the B-side to her current single, 'Suddenly'.
