25 years old, and born and bred in Pollok in Glasgow, Brendan Campbell learned to play a tin whistle and the guitar as a child, going on to finger pick his way into a number of Celtic folk bands.

Combining this musical background with his experiences of growing up on the streets of Glasgow?s South Side he has developed a sound that is both contemporary and timeless. "Twilight Bird? was described by the Sunday Times Culture as an "astonishing debut EP", and thanks to strong support from Steve Lamacq and XFM, Brendan has become one of Scotland's most promising new folk musicians.
