A bird in the Latest Music Bar

I have just realised that I never mentioned Wallis. Wallis Bird! Well those who know me have heard about her. I am getting always a bit euphoric went it comes to her. Especially after a gig! She is awsome!!! Yeah, simply amazing! Very dedicated to what she does, very emotional and somethting you cannot get on the CDs is that she always have quite a few jokes inbetween her songs. This is already entertaining enough! Especially swearing with her Irish accent makes it even more unique. And for those who may see her in Germany, you can hear her speaking in German! Very sweet!

Last night I had my 4th date with her. This time in Brighton. The first time I saw her was in Berlin, back in 2006 during the Popcom. At that time she already impressed me with the energy she brought on stage, one green and one red chuck on and breaking her strings while playing with so much strength. After another gig in Berlin in 2009 and last year in Freiburg, I can say that yes she's getting better and better but she still stays the same. She still breaks her strings (3 times last night!). It gives me the feeling each time I am going to see an old friend. Also because she seems so honest and real.

Yesterday's concert was also a very special concert. She is touring currently on her own. New experience for me as well. The great thing is that the Latest Music Bar is pretty tiny. We were roughly 50 people. Makes the whole thing fairly cosy. And the emotions seemed to get stuck in the room. It was wonderful! I'm getting euphoric again. Very hard to stay objective on this post. But anyway it's nothing about objectivity anyway.

Here you'll find a video from one of her latest concerts. It was very similar to last night maybe it will convince the one or the over ver great she is live!



Concerning her fabulous humour, in the five last years I have never heard a joke twice from her. That's why I know I'll come and see her again soon. Hopefully very soon!



Many thanks to Peter-Williams for making so many great shots at last night's gig:
