Harry Bird and the Rubber Wellies (Friday, Monday)
Since releasing their debut album ‘Long Way to be Free’ in December 2009, Dublin and Bilbao based folksters Harry Bird and the Rubber Wellies have been touring almost non-stop throughout Ireland, the UK, Spain and other parts of Europe with their intimate rootsy performances, joyful sing-a-long choruses and general participatory fun.
During the summer of 2009 they recorded their debut album ‘Long Way to be Free’, a home grown collection of songs exploring love, faith and displacement in a contradictory world of loss and laughter. Their self-produced album was recorded over five months in five different countries and was released on their brand new label, Hot Drop Records.
