About Gus
Gus Munro Live

I am a singer songwriter from Glasgow, I grew up listening to pipe music, (John D Burgess and Donald MacLeod), then when I discovered the blues it was a whole new world, Elmore James in particular had a major effect on me. 

I write songs that tell stories from the heart, which are accompanied by my slide guitar work.  I love being spontaneous and off the cuff during live gigs, connecting with people and taking them on a journey.
