Peter Bruntnell

Event information

Peter Bruntnell returns to Bute to play an intimate solo show at Isle of Bute Seasports Club. Peter will be performing songs from his highly critically acclaimed 30 year career, including tracks from his most recent album, 'Houdini And The Sucker Punch', along with a handful of new ones.

'Houdini' garnered all the predictably pleasing praise of previous albums, with a handful of writers suggesting that it’s on a par with, or perhaps even surpasses, Peter’s 1999 alt-country classic 'Normal For Bridgwater', which was originally released back in 1999 through Rykodisc and later re-issued by Loose Music. It also found itself featuring in a number of End of Year lists, including Mojo Magazine’s Top 5 Americana Albums of 2024. Further plaudits included a 5 star review in the Scottish Daily Express, claiming that it “could well be his best yet in a career that has long deserved greater accolades.”

“a canon of classically constructed, melodically rich, lyrically ingenious and emotionally, intellectually affecting songs that bears comparison with the all-time greats.” -THE GUARDIAN
