A BRAND-NEW BAND! We were excited to see Birdvox perform at Showcase Scotland @ Celtic Connections and jumped on the chance to book them for their first ever UK tour! Birdvox is an exciting new electro-folk band born from a mutual love of birds, harmonies and kitchen discos. Together they embrace energetic, shapeshifting synthesis and the joy of vocal interplay. Expect velvet harmonies, considered lyrical stylings and lively bespoke beats.
