Bannermans – Tues 20th Sept

I’ll be playing a set at Bannermans on Tuesday 20th Sept. My slot is around 8.20pm and then Mike Wheeler is on after me at around 9.00pm. Lots of other acts that night, courtesy of Pressure Valve events.

Both Mike and I have been expanding the open mics we’ve been doing recently including checking out The Auld Hundred, the Home Bar, the Strathmore. And, of course, we’re down at Out of the Bedroom most fortnights.

We working up to a Startled Bee & Mike Wheeler gig. More news on that soon, but the artist in residence is already prepping for the poster.

Falling from the sky

“Falling from the sky” is an EP of three Startled Bee songs. It’s available on Spotify, iTunes / Apple Music, YouTube, and all the usual places.

There are also some old school liner notes too.

Baby Bee (acoustic demo)

Ticket to the Moon (acoustic demo)

Cool Air (acoustic demo)

This song began as a piano based co-write with Claire McBrien at the 2017 Glasgow Songwriting Festival when, for some reason, I was singing an octave up. The song has evolved a little bit since with an extra verse and a finger-picked accompaniment.
