Birling Gap

About Me

"Birling Gap has infused the sounds of the world, bringing together their earthy, soulful rhythm with the enchanting music they produce. It is a delight to hear, will give you goose bumps and send a shiver down your spine. There is great diversity with each piece which keeps you entertained, engaged and enthralled. Their entire performance takes you on a thrilling journey of emotions. It is often said that if Eddie Vedder and Tracy Chapman had a love child it would be called Birling Gap. After watching this band of refreshing talent, you will leave feeling uplifted as though their music has soothed your soul. For the band it’s all about playing the music they love and for everyone to enjoy themselves." - SAUCE MAGAZINE (Australian Street Press)The band have performed at many venues around the UK and Australia. 7 songs from their debut album feature in the world acclaimed Fat Cats Productions, kayaking DVD, "Revenge of the Fat Cats".The album- “Above and Below” and tour EP- "Whiskey Tears for Forgotten Memories" will both be available for purchase soon!
