Anna Calvi has offered up her sultry cover of Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Fire‘ as the support acts for a February 2014 tour of the UK and Ireland are confirmed.

Calvi’s cover can be heard through YouTube below, while composer Anna Meredith and Woman’s Hour have been unveiled as the back-ups for the tour which kicks off in Dublin on February 1st. Anna Meredith supports for the first five dates, and is joined by Woman’s Hour at the London Troxy on February 8th. Woman’s Hour then complete duties on their own in Birmingham, Brighton and Bath.

The live gigs help to push Anna Calvi’s 2013 second album ‘One Breath’, which she has previously said looks at, ‘The moment before you’ve got to open yourself up’.

“And it’s about how terrifying that is. It’s scary and it’s thrilling,” she continued. “It’s also full of hope, because whatever has to happen hasn’t happened yet.”
