In late 2020, Wendy was back with a new folk-power-pop track called 'White Bicycle' much to the delight of her growing fanbase. This track has been well received throughout Ireland, UK and indeed worldwide... featuring on RTE Radio 1 Recommends list as one of BBC Radio Ralph McLean's top songs of 2020...
