  • Presse Wallis Bird
    Medieninformation Wallis Bird New Moon Tour 2019 Gesucht: Synthese von folkigen Roots & Soul. Gefunden: Wallis Bird, zuverlässiger Garant für die explosive Mischung von Musikstilen. Seit Jahren spannt sie ihre Stimme wie ein Stahlseil zwischen unterschiedlichen Musikgenres. Und auf diesem Seil experimentiert und tanzt sie. Sie lässt sich dabei in ihren musikalischen Ambitionen nicht irritieren und geht ihren eigenen Weg. Das muss man können, sich so sicher im Koordinationssystem zwischen Folk, Rock, Pop & Soul zu bewegen. Seit fünf Alben wächst ihr Ansehen stetig, wobei sie häufig mit Janis Joplin verglichen wird. Wallis beherrscht zudem die Kunst der Improvisation und den Zauber des unkonventionellen. So bewegt sie sich elegant auf dem Seil, auf ihre außergewöhnliche Stimme und ihre riesige Musikalität vertrauend. Und eines weiß sie: Man muss auf dem Seil auch mal springen. Oder wie die Irish Times so schön sagte: Die Energie von Wallis Bird könnte eine ganze Volkswirtschaft in Schwung bringen. Jetzt hat die in Berlin lebende Irin ihre Release-Tour angekündigt: Über 50 Konzerte quer durch Europa, Australien, Neuseeland, Japan und Nordamerika, viele davon in speziellen Konzerthäusern (z.B. der Berliner Kammermusiksaal der Philharmonie oder das legendäre Vicar Street-Theater in Dublin). “Die neue Tour trägt den Namen ‘New Moon-Tour, da mir die Symbolik des Mondes wichtig ist: Sie steht für den Welten-Übergang, die Weiblichkeit, das Vergehen der Zeit und den Neubeginn; aber auch für die dunkle Seite des Lichts. All diese Punkte spiegeln wider, wie ich mich an meinem aktuellen Lebenspunkt fühle. Das ist mein ‚new moon‘.“ Das neue Album – ihr sechstes Studioalbum – wird im Herbst 2019 erscheinen.

  • Wallis Bird – Architect
    WALLIS BIRD – ARCHITECT BOLAG: BIRD RECORDS / KARAKTER WORLDWIDE RELEASEDATUM: 11 APRIL Wild and unpredictable, Wallis Bird cannot – and should not – be pigeonholed easily. Capable of the delicate, gossamer-thin ballads that her tiny 5ft2 frame would suggest, she can also summon up a whirlwind of passion and rage in the blink of an eye. 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. A two-time Irish Meteor Award winner (equivalent to Brit Awards), mostly recently for Best Female Artist, and a nominee in 2013 for Ireland’s prestigious Choice Music Prize (equivalent to Mercury Price), Bird has toured with Billy Bragg, The Gossip, Emiliana Torrini, ZAZ, The Feeling and Rodrigo y Gabriela among others, as well as playing sold-out headline shows and some of the biggest festivals around Europe. Her performance at Paris’ Rock en Seine Festival was so powerful that one of France’s biggest newspapers, Le Monde, singled her out alongside the Arcade Fire as the highlight of the festival. Wherever Wallis can be found, she stands out as a powerful, contradictory presence – one that can unite audiences anywhere she plays. Over the last 7 years Wallis played over 600 shows. An exceptional guitarist, her unique playing style only adds to the intrigue of her performances. Following a childhood accident which permanently damaged her left hand, Bird learned to play her instrument flipped back to front, thus having to create her own bafflingly complex chord fingerings, much to the bewilderment of any musicians in the audience.

  • Creative Ireland Day at Guth Gafa
    MESSAGES OF HOPE Today more than ever our lives are dominated by the illusion that the world of TV and the Internet presents – fake news is everywhere, easy access to pornography on the web terrifies parents, and the advertising industry will follow us to the grave to get its message across; selling war, factory farming and statins. Film is of course illusion too, because it tricks the eye – however, we suspend disbelief and willingly enter the illusion hoping to find pleasure or enlightenment. Guth Gafa has for the last twelve years provided a kind of antidote, a forum for filmmakers from across the world to set the record straight. This year the music phenomenon Punk Voyage pushes intellectual disability to centre stage, and rocks the audience; The Cleaners lifts the lid on the social media we thought were free of bias, and Genesis 2.0 examines genetic Neasa Ní Chianáin engineering – species to order. and David Rane Festival co-directors The documentaries we screen at Guth Gafa also depend on a kind of illusion: ideas that swim upstream without seeking profit; progressive ideas out of focus because they are out of Guth Gafa International time – because their time has not yet come.
