27 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 few years with artists as diverse as the legendary Billy Bragg, Ivor Novello award winner Gabrielle, and worldwide phenomenon duo Rodrigo y Gabriela as well as playing hundreds of headlining shows in Europe, Wallis also clinched one of the biggest TV campaigns in recent memory when her storming cover of 'Just Can't Get Enough' was used on a prime-time nationwide advertisement. She went on to win two prestigious Irish Meteor Awards, including Best Female in 2010.

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’.

Wallis returns with the vivid, multi-coloured and hugely entertaining "New Boots" and she's kicking down your door with it.
