I once sat in a sushi bar in Dublin with a group of relative strangers and listened to singer Leanne Harte wax lyrical about some up-and-coming Irish singer, the curiously named Wallis Bird.
After seeing her perform at Electric Picnic at the weekend and checking out her myspace, I now understand why Leanne was so in thrall with this Wexford-born songstress.
Her jaunty guitar-driven pop songs and lilting ballads are wonderfully simple, untarnished by studio gloss and her lyrics are beautifully earnest and clever. A new obsession is born.
Anybody fancy joining me at her gig in The Button Factory on 30th of October?
