Media  Officer of the Interspecies Assembly of Finsbury Park London

Internationally acclaimed singer songwriter Harry Bird has spent the last 15 years touring hundreds of venues all over Europe and beyond.

Be it Hebridean festival, Yorkshire folk club, London music hall, Dublin arts centre, German punk bar, Kiwi beach party or Basque fiesta, Harry always brings a passion for connecting with an audience and providing a musical night to remember.

An experienced circus and theatre musician he is a heartfelt storyteller with a versatile vocal delivery and a deft percussive guitar style. Drawing on his own British folk roots and those of others, his performances are an intimate cabaret of song, humour and often raucous crowd participation.

His hook filled melodies, he admits, come easily enough. It is his lyrics that he wrestles with almost to the point of obsession until hammered into rhythmically pleasing flights of imagination and multi-layered narrative that he cannot wait to share with others. “Performing your own songs really motivates you as a writer”, he notes, “because you really want to enjoy the things you are singing. And if you are having fun then everyone else is much more likely to be doing the same!”

Original, entertaining and thought provoking, his energetic, feel-good shows are not to be missed.

After a long partnership with with travelling folksters the Rubber Wellies, 2023 has seen Harry collaborating with a cast of old friends and new to complete his first solo album, Mucho Picnic. Scheduled for release this December, the record is cut with familiar craft while continuing to push personal boundaries and promises to be his most assured offering to date. Pigs in the Grass, the latest single, was released in June 2023, following on from Bead Off a String in October 2022.

The Orkney Tune Cloud is a place to discover and share tunes from Orkney. There are so many great Orkney tunes, old and new, and everywhere I go people seem to ask where they can get hold of more. So I wanted to create a resource folk could come to to find some.
My name is Catriona Price and I'm an Orcadian fiddle player. I was born and brought up in Orkney and my music is deeply rooted in the tradition of the islands.  I feel passionate about sharing Orkney music, so I hope you'll enjoy what you find here. Every week I'll post one or two tunes up on The Orkney Tune Cloud, sometimes traditional, sometimes new compositions by musicians on the current Orkney music scene. All the tunes are available as free downloads for you to learn and share, and just get in touch (www.catrionaprice.com) if you'd like the dots for anything. I hope you find something you like here and enjoy playing some tunes from Orkney!
