Ahead of her upcoming show in The Button Factory on October 23rd, Rachael Lavelle has shared the video for her latest single ‘Sleepy Gal’, taken from her Choice Music Prize nominated debut album ‘Big Dreams’.

‘Sleepy Gal’ is “For all the gals who love to sleep!” explains Lavelle of the track which was co-produced by Alex Borwick and features the extraordinarily talented Irish session musician Ryan Hargadon on clarinet.
