In the summer of 2007 he left Rice to concentrate on Lisa Hannigan"s solo career.
He recorded her solo album "Sea Sew" in 2008 and did several tours over the next two years in support of that release before taking a year off from the road in 2010.
These include the 2004 Concert for Bam (in aid of the victims of the Stephens Day Earthquake in Iran) at Vicar Saint in Dublin and the 2010 Thomastown Community Kindergarten Benefit featuring Paul Noonan and Gavin Glass at the Bridgebrook Arms in Kilkenny, Ireland.
