Vanderlye

Vanderlye are an alternative rock band from Glasgow, blending anthemic indie rock with politically charged lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes, all brought to life through dynamic male-female duel lead vocals. Since forming in late 2023, they’ve gained serious momentum, with a top 10 spot in the Amazing Radio Charts, an Artist of the Week in Scotland on Sunday as well as being named one of the Artists to Watch by Resonate Scotland in 2025.

Sold-out hometown shows at venues like King Tut’s, Nice N’ Sleazy, and The Hug & Pint, along with a support slot at St Luke’s with Mickey 9s, have further solidified their reputation.

Their first five singles have earned international airplay and acclaim from tastemakers across the Scottish music scene. Guilty Lovers & Heartbreak Serenades won Single of the Year at the 2024 Unsigned Music Awards beating over 9,000 nominations. Terrible Comfort and This Plastic Ego were both long-listed for SNACK’s Scottish Single of the Year whilst 2025 single Romantic Anarchy received a 9/10 review from Northern Exposure.

The band’s debut EP, The Reckoning, dropped on May 23rd, following the release of their new single and title track Reckoning, marking the beginning of an exciting year ahead for Vanderlye.

‘A band so hypnotic, they should come with a health warning… Imagine Britpop in a leather jacket colliding with grunge that hasn’t washed its hair in a week, and you’ve got Vanderlye.” – Angela Canavan, The Golden Bough

Front man of underground Perthshire based band, Parliamo, is a Kitty’s regular. Jack entertains the crowd solo as well as with his bandmate, Finn. He really takes our live music offering to the next level.
Sean is a Glasgow based singer/songwriter who has played in bars across Scotland, Ireland and Europe. A regular in Kitty’s, he changes up his song book according to the mood and the audience. Expect to hear everything from U2 to The Foo Fighters and even some Van Morrison & Depeche Mode.
A Kitty’s regular and known for his skills on the tin whistle. Catch him playing alongside Ciaran Cooney, Conor Markey and Marty McBride across all three of our pubs!

By now, Ray is one of the most experienced musicians on the Edinburgh circuit.

Sometimes called ‘a hairy jukebox’, he’ll guide you through a night of folk, country, rock, pop and shameless cheese, delivered while armed with his guitar, a strong cup of Barry’s tea and an even stronger Cork accent.

David Duffy is Glasgow-born and bred, and he may be one of the newest musicians to the Kitty’s crew but don’t let that sway your view.

David can play an array of instruments, from the drums to bass, piano, harmonica, mandolin, banjo and lapsteel oh and let’s not forget that he has been singing and playing the acoustic guitar for 35 years…And if you ever need an autoharp tuned in the dark, a drunk David Duffy is yer man!

Kitty’s regulars and favourites, Papa Shandy & The Drams, are a trio founded in 2012.

Renowned for their unique style of folk/traditional music, you will hear lead vocals & guitar by Kieran Sinclair backed by Gavin on the banjo and Tracey on the fiddle.

Andy is one of our longest running resident musicians. With over 20 years worth of gigs under his belt, you could say he was an accomplished musician in his own right, with many playing styles in his repertoire. His passion, however, lies in traditional Scottish folk songs and music.
