I <3 Andrew Bird. Hopefully he'll tour this way soon. It's been too long.

He is playing forbidden fruit on the Wilco day, hope he plays a solo gig later in the year in Dublin

Damn it. Beirut doesn't happen to be that day too? I might need to get a ticket.

Yeah ,same day. Mazzy star ,Julia Holter, James vincent McMorrow as well. its the strongest of the 3 days by a country mile

 

[Jill Hives]

Well... Wilco, Mazzy Star, Beirut and Andrew Bird was enough to make me buy a ticket. I'm skint but that's what credit is for, right? I'll be happy I did it on the day. Plus it's an easy walk home to my bed instead of some poxy tent. Now I have something to put on my calendar.

While I don't think a festival like Forbidden Fruit is the ideal showcase for him (though I'd say the same for Atlas Sound), I'm glad he's coming back.

The new album is impressive - even still, I've been surprised by the reaction: 5 stars in the Guardian!
Thought Armchair and Mysterious Production of Eggs were stronger but as he says himself, it's been a slow build.

He seems like an interesting guy, though - fairly intense and serious with a mad backstory of a career:
