Having toured over the last two years with artists as diverse as the legendary Billy Bragg, who hand-picked her to support him on his UK tour, and Ivor Novello award winner Gabrielle, as well as playing over 80 headlining shows in Europe during 2008, Wallis rounded off the year by clinching one of the biggest TV campaigns of 2008 when her storming cover of 'Just Can't Get Enough' was used on a prime-time nationwide advertisement.br br An impassioned performer, "New Boots" captures much of the live energy of her shows. A 5ft2 bundle of white heat, Wallis throws herself around the stage with wilful abandon, breaking strings, shredding her fingers from the sheer force of her playing, urging the crowd into a collective sing-a-long and throwing her entire soul into each performance with often breath-taking results.
