Covering My Brothers Bridget St. John

(Shagrat Records 10” Vinyl LP ENT 026)

Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Bridget St. John releases a brand new

10” mini-album, Covering My Brothers

Following numerous reissues of her impressive back catalogue and

various recent live recordings, Shagrat Records are proud to present

a themed four-track mini album, Covering My Brothers.

When Bridget started out in the music business in the late 1960s,

she had few female allies on the folk and rock circuit. Championed

by the late DJ, John Peel, Bridget found herself performing on very

male-dominated bills but quickly forged ties with her fellow

musicians. Sharing stages with them, Bridget soon proved herself

their equal and her encounters with them led to lifelong friendships.

As Bridget says, ‘I grew up with sisters but found my brothers

through music... our connections date back decades and lasted for

their lifetimes... these are my interpretations of songs written by

four of them’.
