About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Smallbear started back in 2004 rehearsing around the kitchen table.

Since then we've met and played with so many great musicians and made some true friends along the way.

Inspired by all this we run our own club THE KIRBY TWINS ACOUSTIC CLUB which features sets from singer/songwriters and acoustic musicians. See the 'Upcoming Shows' for further details.

We hope you enjoy our music and would love to hear from you or maybe see you out and about because we definately support LIVE music as well.
