Birdbrother

Event information

Birdbrother is a duo comprising singer songwriter Philip Stapley on guitar and his musical partner Paul Beadle, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who has been a troubadour of the local folk scene for four decades with 'Whiteleaved Oak', 'Splatt' and 'Journeyman').

While Philip’s etheric soothing tones transport the listener to distant melancholic realms, Paul enchants with his energetic and unique performance playing flute, percussion, guitar and mandolin.

Birdbrother play all original songs of love, life and spirituality, which paint a romantic, inspiring, optimistic, thought-provoking, yet sometimes melancholic picture. Their brand of psychedelic, dream-weaving has been compared to that of Nick Drake, Donovan and John Martyn and undoubtedly has its roots in 60’s/70’s progressive, acoustic folk.

Birdbrother formed originally as a Sussex based duo in 2011 with Kris Lamba and recorded their album 'Peace to the Wanderer'. In 2015 Philip relocated to the Shropshire hills and began the next iteration alongside Paul from Stourbridge, and the Birdbrother journey continues.

They have just completed their highly anticipated album ‘Counting on the Sun’ which can be found on Spotify, Bandcamp and other platforms or on CD.
