Bearpit Brothers Launch their second EP in the Glad Cafe on 22nd August

Support from Ryan Morcombe and Stephen Watt

Scottish Songwriter from West Lothian. Playing dustbowl blues with some wailing harmonica and jangling guitar. With a helpful dose of folk and pop. Influences include Donovan, Bert Jansch, Dylan, The Stones and of course, The Beatles. Recent tours have taken in gigs in Amsterdam, London, Liverpool and a performance at the Isle of Wight festival 2014.

“Ryan, a 26 year old whose muse seems to be an old bluesman from the 1940’s, Bleeding dry is his best tune – a country guitar, rumbling Animal’s style ryhthm and bass, and a bitter lyric: ‘Death you can save me from this life.'” Rick Fulton, Daily Record.
