VERA Platform_2302 Will Boyd-Wallis "Will Boyd-Wallis is a Highland-based singer-songwriter, woodworker, ecologist, and land manager whose music is deeply rooted in the landscapes, wildlife, and communities of Scotland\u2019s Highlands and islands. Performing under the name Greenshanks, his songs are passionate, poignant, and hopeful reflections on life, love, and restoration, shaped by a lifelong connection to the natural world.\r\n\r\nUsing rich open tunings on his well-travelled guitalele and acoustic guitar, Will creates a distinctive sound that complements his reflective, soulful vocals. A finalist at the 2023 Danny Kyle Open Stage during Celtic Connections in Glasgow, he has performed alongside some of Scotland\u2019s most respected musicians and songwriters.\r\n\r\nAlongside songwriting, woodwork provides another important creative outlet. From beautifully functional pieces to eccentric creations that are aesthetically joyful yet delightfully pointless, much of Will\u2019s work is carved or turned outdoors using a traditional foot-powered pole lathe, reflecting his connection to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the natural world." cc274@st-andrews.ac.uk English Music,PEOPLE Artisan Music,PEOPLE 3D University of St Andrews VERA Platform "Will Boyd-Wallis is a Highland-based singer-songwriter, woodworker, ecologist, and land manager whose music is deeply rooted in the landscapes, wildlife, and communities of Scotland\u2019s Highlands and islands.
