Honing their craft over the past decade, Wood and Walker have cemented themselves as firm favourites not only on the Westcountry scene but also nationally and internationally. Their status—and fast-growing fanbase—is a testament not only to the pair’s prowess as songwriters and musicians, but also to their warmth and relatability as people.

Sound of the Sirens is the acclaimed singer-songwriter duo from Southwest England, known for their multi-instrumental talents, evocative storytelling, and deeply personal songwriting.

From their 2013 debut A Long Way to Fall to their most recent album The Other Me (released January 31, 2025), the duo has evolved both musically and lyrically, tackling themes of love, resilience, transformation, and personal growth.

The Other Me marks their most introspective and refined work yet, reflecting on life’s transitions and emotional truths. The album has been celebrated for its depth, honesty, and maturity—hallmarks of their enduring artistic voice.

Renowned for their magnetic stage presence, Sound of the Sirens have toured extensively across the UK, Europe, and Ireland. Whether performing in intimate venues or larger concert halls, Abbe and Hannah’s chemistry and authenticity shine through, creating unforgettable live experiences.

With a new booking agent in place, Sound of the Sirens are poised for an exciting new chapter, bringing their music to even wider audiences while remaining true to their independent spirit.

With each release, Sound of the Sirens continue to solidify their place in the UK music scene.
