Ryan Harley

Ryan Harley is a Glasgow born, Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter crafting atmospheric indie and alternative music rooted in introspection, melody, and emotional nuance. Blending reverb-drenched guitars with understated vocals, his sound reflects a DIY ethos and a deep appreciation for lyrical storytelling.

Alongside original material, Harley has built an online following through thoughtfully reimagined covers and self-released recordings, showcasing a style influenced by folk, indie, and modern alternative artists. His work balances intimacy with texture, drawing listeners into quiet, reflective spaces.

An active presence within Scotland’s vibrant music scene, Harley has performed at local venues including Nice N Sleazy, and has released collaborative and solo projects such as From a Window. With a growing catalogue and a hands-on approach to recording and performance, Ryan Harley continues to develop a distinctive voice within Scotland’s independent music landscape.

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.
