About this event

On tour with his inspirational band and songs from the forthcoming album "Absurditties", Harry Bird is a modern day troubadour, mixing “genius songwriting” (RnR Magazine, UK) with a voice that has captivated audiences all over Europe and beyond. Drawing on British folk, Americana and other world music genres, his lyrically charged performances are a freewheeling cabaret of finely crafted songs and good humour. An experienced circus and theatre musician, his compositions have featured on stage and on screen, most recently in Damian McCarthy’s horror films “Oddity” (2024) and “Hokum” (2026). “Absurditties”, his fifth studio album, follows 2023's "Mucho Picnic" and three earlier albums released as Harry Bird and the Rubber Wellies on his own label Hot Drop Records. His band of foot stomping folkies features Scottish-Australian bluegrass maestros Pepita Emmerichs and Theodore Barnard (Rain of Animals / Good Guy Hank) along with powerhouse Dundee songwriter Gavin McGinty (GAVIN / Sinderins) and globetrotting Scottish-Icelandic drummer Signy Jakobsdottir. Original, entertaining and thought-provoking, his energetic, feel-good shows are not to be missed.

Also playing this week

Same kind of night (music) in Glasgow. Spread across the week, not a ranking.

A different kind of night

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
