JANUARY WALLIS BIRD NEW MOON TOUR Wild and unpredictable, Wallis Bird cannot – and should not – be pigeonholed easily. Her performances can transition seamlessly from the defiant anthems that can motivate thousands of festival-goers into a rousing sing-a-long, to the most hushed and fragile ballads that can captivate an audience into a spellbound silence. Wherever Wallis can be found, she stands out as a powerful, contradictory presence – one that can unite audiences anywhere she plays. “The sheer visceral energy of Wallis Bird could kick-start an entire economy” - The Irish Times
