An evening with Harry Bird at Cafe No9

Event information

Harry Bird is a modern day troubadour with a knack for storytelling and "genius songwriting" (RnR Magazine, UK). Expect rhythmic guitar, soul stirring vocals, freewheeling anecdotes and good humour from this Glasgow based, folksinging circus and theatre musician steeped in stagecraft, versatility and playfulness.

For the last 15 years he has toured hundreds of venues all over Europe and beyond with a passion for sharing his lyrically charged music and connecting with audiences of all kinds. His diverse musical output is largely in English but contains songs and poems in Spanish, French, Arabic and Basque - languages spoken in many of the places in which he has lived and performed.

"Mucho Picnic", his first self produced solo album was released on Hot Drop Records in 2023 and follows three previous albums in partnership with travelling folksters and long time collaborators the Rubber Wellies.

His compositions have also featured on stage and on screen, most recently in the award winning Irish horror film "Oddity" directed by Damian Mc Carthy. He has written the soundtracks to four touring circus shows in the Basque Country, sung on audiobooks for Penguin and appeared regularly as a multi-instrumental actor/musician at the Bristol Old Vic.
Original, entertaining and thought provoking, his energetic, feel-good shows are not to be missed.
