Billy Limerick

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorEclectic singer/songwriter from Fife playing indie/lo-fi/alternative/folk.

"Experimentally acoustic, it resembles a cosy fireside rendezvous with Bob Dylan and Richard Ashcroft that’s amiably endearing” – Skinny Mag

“BILLY Limerick, a singer- songwriter from Fife, doesn't go for the five-line poems his name suggests but carves the epic rock of Richard Ashcroft....This is a man to watch.” - Rick Fulton (Scottish Daily Record)

“If you hear this guy your mind will be confused and shortly after it will be blown. It's hard to describe an artist like Billy, stranger music than normal and great vocal lines. Billy will prove that strange isn't always bad.” – Deadleg Promotions
