Singer/Songwriter: Wallis Bird

<p>Thrilled to welcome one of Ireland's current great Artists, Wallis Bird.</p> <p>Wallis has released six albums since 2007, for which she’s won two Meteor &nbsp;Awards, Ireland’s annual music prize – mostly recently for Best Female &nbsp;Artist – and a prestigious 2017 German <em>‘Music Autoren Preis’ </em>(Music &nbsp;Author Prize), not to mention two further nominations for the Choice &nbsp;Music Prize, Ireland’s equivalent to Britain’s Mercury Prize. In &nbsp;addition, she’s racked up over a thousand shows during the past decade, &nbsp;earning a reputation worldwide for her legendarily passionate, energetic &nbsp;and good-humoured concerts. Wallis has also previously found a champion in American artists Amanda Palmer, and the Irish Times once noted that Bird’s irrepressible trademark energy on stage could <em>“kickstart an entire economy”</em>.</p> <p>Her latest album, HANDS sees<em> </em>Bird turning the spotlight onto herself, raising issues that are sometimes hard to face. Bird confronts themes of trust, alcohol abuse, stagnation, self-censorship &nbsp;and self-improvement. Each of them, however, is delivered by a voice &nbsp;uncommonly blessed with joy, ingenuity, and empathy.</p> <p>Enjoy &nbsp;the epic conversation that touches on topics including energy and &nbsp;health on the road, the drive to perform and deliver, positive &nbsp;reinforcement, marriage equality and more.</p>
