WALLIS BIRD
Review
Wallis Bird is back. The 26-year-old Irish singer and songwriter has made her second album ‘New Boots’ and is touring Europe. For the first time she will play in Luxembourg at the URBAN BELVAL on the 30th May, so come and enjoy a live show full of energy and passion.
26 year old Irish artist Wallis Bird is back with her second album "New Boots", the follow-up to 2007's “Spoons” which rocketed into the Top 10 UK Digital Album Charts, and earned her comparisons to Ani diFranco and Janis Joplin. Having toured over the last two years with artists as diverse as the legendary Billy Bragg, who hand-picked her to support him on his UK tour, and Ivor Novello-award winner Gabrielle, as well as playing over 80 headlining shows in Europe during 2008, Wallis rounded off the year by clinching one of the biggest TV campaigns of 2008 when her storming cover of “Just Can't Get Enough” was used on a prime-time UK-wide advertisement.
An impassioned performer, "New Boots" captures much of the live energy of her shows. A 5ft2 bundle of white heat, Wallis throws herself around the stage with willful abandon, breaking strings, shredding her fingers from the sheer force of her playing, urging the crowd into a collective sing-a-long and throwing her entire soul into each performance with often breath-taking results. Having impressed everyone with the intensity and passion of her live shows, Wallis has nurtured a gig-going following whose admiration borders on the devotional. Wallis’ live shows and album release have garnered her rave reviews from all quarters, with 4 * reviews being given by national publications including The Guardian, Daily Express and The Sun, who called her “a stunning female singer-songwriter to take note of…..a future star”.
Now Wallis is heading to gain her reputation on the Continent and will play Luxembourg for the first time. Expect nothing else than a live show that captures you from the very first moment and we are sure that you will leave after this show with a new favorite on your 2010-playlist! The entry to this show is free, so come, discover, enjoy and fall in love with this girl from Ireland!
