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 sounds of Irish airs, Scottish reels and pipe bands. Originally a drummer he switched to guitar at fifteen. Moving to England in his late teens, Jet made a living playing rhythm guitar in local bands with a covers repertoire of Neil Young, Steve Earle, John Prine etc.

He discovered 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 a performance on BBC Radio's Folk on Two as well as 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 out the new songs.

Jet's song, Cruel Coincidence, is an uptempo fingerstyle guitar plus vocal, that had audiences dancing and chanting the chorus when he first roadtested the song in Brittany!

His latest track, Hashish to Ashes, a fingerpicked slow tempo country number, has been described as a three handkerchief production!
