Under the Radar: Murdo Mitchell

Bursting onto the scene last year with the release of his debut EP Stay Nocturnal, which explored the complexities of addiction and love during the pandemic, Glasgow-based singer songwriter, Murdo Mitchell has just released the follow up, his introspective Ghosts, exploring themes of loss and heartbreak.

To date he has supported the likes of Starsailor, and played festivals such as Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Linlithgow Folk Festival, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He’s been championed by Earmilk, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio 5and XS Noize and has just signed to super cool Swedish label Icons Creating Evil Art, Pick & Mix MGMT and X-Ray Touring.
