bird house

The music of singer/songwriter bird house fuses traditional song writing with bittersweet humour and atmospheric touches. He carries the listener effortlessly from lilting folk tunes to poetry and “laconic slice of life storytelling” (Tom Robinson).

His eclectic and genre defying live show features looping guitar work, spoken word and blues harmonica, and has seen him play extensively around the UK as a solo act, including prominent support slots with ‘Our Girl,’ acclaimed indie dream-rockers ‘junodream’, and cinematic jazz trio ‘Mammal Hands’.

Released in 2024, his debut album ‘Sleep House’ garnered widespread praise and radio play on BBC6 and BBC Introducing Sheffield, and was playlisted by KLOF magazine.
A second album, conceived largely in a sparse home studio set up, comprised of two microphones, a mobile phone, and a broken laptop prone to switching itself off in sulking fits of protest, is set to be released in this year, supported by live dates with a newly formed band. Keep your ears peeled for another collection of stories and dreams from the there and then and the here and now.
