BIIRD are an all-female trad supergroup that have been mystifying the masses with their lively, zealous set and uncompromising dedication to Irish design since their inception last year. Bringing the trad session vibe from the corner of a pub to a global audience, their energy is unmatched. This is a sisterhood born out of a shared passion for keeping the tradition of Irish music alive, giving it a new look and keeping it on its toes. When they’re performing together, a magic flows between them, and that mix of skill and sorcery make them incomparable.
After appearing on the Late Late Show in February 2025, BIIRD went on to sell out every show on their debut Irish & UK tour, including their upgraded show at Vicar St... all before even releasing any music. BIIRD then went on to play Mainstage at ATN to 15,000 adoring fans. Having recently signed up with Primary Talent as booking agents 2026 promises to be an incredible year of touring for the supergroup with an extensive Irish, UK and US tour soon to be announced, among other hugely exciting ventures.
