Guitarist and singer/songwriter Jet Brennan is a graduate of the School of bars and busking. Uncompromisingly plain but never simple, his songs are delivered in a stripped-down style with a Celtic lilt.
From a Scots/Irish background, Jet grew up to the sound of Irish airs, Scottish reels and pipe bands. Originally a drummer, he switched to guitar at the age of fifteen. Moving to England in his late teens, Jet made his living playing rhythm guitar in local bands with a Neil Young, Steve Earle, John Prine etc repertoire of covers.
He discovered that he had a knack for writing songs that people enjoyed hearing and branched out as a solo artist, touring Ireland and Scotland on foot (quote 'I don't do driving!').
In 1996 Jet won the UK Voice of The Year contest, breaking with tradition by performing his own composition, Easy Morning, rather than a cover song. The song attracted attention and led to appearances on BBC Radio's Folk On Two and local radio stations.
Over the past few years Jet has concentrated on writing new material and armed with his trusty Martin, headed out on the road to test them out.
Jet's Cruel Coincidence is an uptempo fingerstyle guitar plus vocal that had audiences dancing and chanting the chorus in Brittany earlier this year.
His track, Hashish To Ashes, a finger-picked slow tempo country number has been described as a three handkerchief production! Listen and weep!!
Black Is The Colour is a traditional Scottish song. |
