PETER Bruntnell, the singer-songwriter frequently described as one of British music’s best-kept secrets, plays a Glasgow date on Friday at the 13th Note with a full band.
Bruntnell has more recently toured either solo or as part of a "Songwriters’ Circle" tour with Danny Wilson and Neil Halstead. His most recent album, Nos da Comrade, featured a single, Mr Sunshine, which referenced Donald Trump and the damage to a fishing community caused by his Aberdeenshire golf course.
Peter Bruntnell and band will be supported by Keith Benzie and Iain Sloan, playing as the Wynntown Marshals Duo. Sloan will also sit in on pedal steel for a few numbers with Bruntnell.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
