Back in February, Wallis Bird joined Eleanor McEvoy Music and Maura O'Connell to perform one of Ireland’s most historic and biggest selling albums 'A Woman's Heart'. They played four very special concerts in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, Ireland and National Opera House, Wexford with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. RTE broadcasted this performance last weekend with a fantastic response. Just the thing to lift your spirits during these times.
Anniversary to Anais Mitchell and her show Hadestown which opened on Broadway a year ago today! This isn’t quite how we imagined we would be celebrating, but we’re raising a cup to the incredible times so far, and looking forward to more to come 🥂 "1 yr ago, opening night of Hadestown w the force of nature that is @rachel.chavkin . We joined our blindingly beautiful cast for the curtain call + someone put a big bouquet of flowers in my arms, I was too dazed to know what to do with them, so I awkwardly put them down somewhere like on the ground or maybe the set table. I’m so grateful for the whole extended family that made this dream come true. Wish we could all be in a room together celebrating... but till then... keep the faith. Mad love " - Anais Mitchell

Earlier this month, Wallis performed at the legendary WDR Rockpalast festival. This was a very special show because Wallis performed with Irish trio Wyvern Lingo as her band. Check out this great stream of the full concert below:
Check out this fantastic TV feature of HUNDREDS' 10th anniversary show at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Thanks to Germany's national TV station NDR Kultur for this uplifting mini doc on Hundreds and this special show. It feels pretty surreal in these days that only 8 weeks ago they played in front of over 2000 people here, everybody in one room and less that 1.5m apart...
