Our feature act this week is Jim Bryce. If you want a “typical singer-songwriter” – whatever that is – you’re not going to get it. A musical magpie, veering from rock to MOR, from folk to jazz to music-hall. Pastdoings include music for children’s radio, theatre and squeaky stuff. Tasters from his new album “A Grope of Foolish Poke Songs” may possibly feature. He may well try to lumber you with copies of it, and his previous two. Be warned!

“Wildly eccentric.. with some great tunes” (James Igoe)
“Intelligent, thought-provoking……If we’d known him for the last 20 or 30 years …..he’d probably sell bushels of CD’s, (MGCK)
“Strums a guitar, plonks a keyboard, and has no idea why he’s here.” (Jim Bryce)

Our feature act this week is Rosie Smith. Born in Glasgow, Rosie returned to her parents’ native Edinburgh a few years ago for university, and finally got around to her longtime goal of learning to play the guitar. Rosie’s first Out of the Bedroom performance was also her open mic debut in 2018 with her first three original songs. She has since expanded her repertoire of melancholy songs, often reminiscent of the sad Scottish folksongs, which she is also a keen performer of. Rosie’s other main influences are Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, and Billy Bragg. Most of her music centres around a poignant and mournful expression of love, heartbreak, and healing.
