About Me


Visit www.gustavbertha.com for latest news, show details, downloads and samples. If you are looking for podsafe/free music you can have my two albums Z:06 and Songs For Gigi .
I am a Scottish singer songwriter. I write songs and play them to people on my slightly tacky keyboard. It's a habit I won't break any time soon.
My songs are warmly delicate, darkly funny tales of life, love, hate, the fall of civilisation, corporate domination and yes, of course, death. They are dotted with the kind of twisted characters you might find in a weird novel cowritten by Martin Amis and Douglas Adams.
I am told that listening to me live feels like sitting up until 4am with a dear old friend and a bottle of whisky.
“Ein wunderbares album” - Der Bund
“Schottischer Schatz” (Scottish treasure) - Züritipp
If you have a cafe, stage, gallery or merely want a concert in your lounge at home, drop me a line. Aswell as two plus hours worth of mindblowing original entertainment in a concert format, I can also play a mellow ambient background mix of covers and originals.
To purchase my original music just click on the album covers for further details.
Check out my podcast radio show - Way Past Bedtime .
If you have Itunes just click this link to get the show. If you use a podcast grabber add this feed: http://www.skunkweb.com/gustav/radio/waypastbedtime.xml to get the latest shows.
