Six things you didn’t know about Jade Bird

London-based singer, songwriter and performer Jade Bird has been smashing it in 2019, picking up plaudits everywhere she goes, and also releasing her self-titled debut album via Glassnote Records. We asked her to tell us six things about herself:

I’m a poker shark 😉 I love playing poker with my band on the tour bus after a gig, we have all really got into it and I have my own chips and everything… I always win, haha!

I am constantly writing new songs. I love writing songs, I always have and I try and write a new one every day if I can, even if I am on the road. It’s such an important part of me as an artist and I am constantly trying to explore new things.

I can eat a whole chicken in one sitting. This is a skill that I am not really sure when I found out I had, but its impressive… I’m only 5ft 3in

I play guitar and piano. People normally see me with a guitar, so sometimes they don’t know I can play piano as well, but that was actually the instrument I learnt first and then I came to find guitar when I started writing songs. Come to a gig and you will see me play both!

I love dogs. I am obsessed with dogs, I love them, hopefully, one day I can have a tour dog and I can take them on the tour bus with me.

The bingo hall is where its at. After rehearsals I started going to the bingo hall with my band, it’s open all night so quite convenient when you are finishing late, haha!
