Gabriella Cilmi To Play SXSW Showcase

Gabriella Cilmi will perform a lucrative showcase set at the annual SXSW music convention in Austin, Texas this Spring.

The Australian youngster, who has enjoyed considerable success in the UK and Australia during 2008, will follow in the footsteps of Amy Winehouse and Duffy, who have both previously performed at the event.

Cilmi will also issue her debut album 'Lessons To Be Learned' in the US to coincide with SXSW, which takes place in March.

Gabriella is best known for her hit singles 'Sweet About Me', 'Save The Lies' and the recent Christmas track Warm This Winter.
