Birdbrother is a duo which comprises singer songwriter Philip Stapley on guitar and his musical partner Paul Beadle, accomplished multi-instrumentalist and vocalist of the local folk scene for four decades('Journeyman', 'Whiteleaved oak' and 'Splatt'). While Philip?s etheric soothing tones transport the listener to distant melancholic realms, Paul enchants with his energetic and unique performance. Playing mostly original songs of love, life and spirituality which paint a romantic yet melancholy picture. Since 2018 we have played at a variety of venues including ?Kitchen garden cafe?, ?Narrowboat sessions?, ?Katie Fitzgerald?s? and ?Ludlow green fair? Birdbrother formed originally as a Sussex based duo in 2011 with Kris Lamba and recorded their album 'Peace to the wanderer'.

Katie Fitzgeralds has built a reputation for live music and parties but it's about more than that its also about history and tradition.
Originally a private house the building is over 200 years old and has been a pub since the 1830 Beer Act.
In the 19th century it would have been home to foundry workers and boatmen and would have looked out across to the Stourbridge canal arm where Foster and Rastrick built the Stourbridge Lion the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA.
Originally known as the Golden Lion it later became known as the Stourbridge Lion and then in 2000 it
became our home and was renamed in honour of Trina's grandmother Katie Fitzgerald who was born in Cloyne County Cork.
Trina is related to Irelands most famous hurling player Christy Ring, a son of Cloyne and is also cousin of Donal ag Cusack , Irelands first openly gay sportsman.
