Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Wallis Bird and her career can only go sky high! Still solo in 2009 as strong and funny support act to Rodrigo & Gabriela, now with band in the ABclub and that promises to be even more fun.
This Irish singer is sometimes compared with Janis Joplin, Fiona Apple or Ani DiFranco due to being very enthusiastic, very inappropriate and very distinct. At a recent Pukkelpop she was apparently much appreciated by the audience, definitely when she announced: 'if you sing along then I'll show you my breasts... they're not real anyway.'
There will be a new CD in early 2012, simply entitled ‘Wallis Bird’, but there are already acoustic versions of those songs on a CD personally packaged by Wallis & family and only available via her site. There are only 1,000 and this CD is then called 'The mistakes are intentional'. Don't come back complaining!

Wallis will be bringing Aidan along as support-act. An Irish inhabitant of Brussels with substantial live-experience and in early 2012 he will also release his debut CD 'Le Grand Discours'. On it you should hear how Aidan finds his way amongst John Martyn, Elbow, Nick Drake, Villagers...
